What’s their incentive? A crypto token that relies on you viewing ads to gain more of said token.

They probably don’t track you if you have all that crap disabled, but they definitely don’t want you to have it disabled. So no, I don’t trust them, it’s like trusting a wolf that says it’s vegan.

It could be saying the truth, but just like how they murdered Braver/Bold, that wolf is probably eating your neighbouring farm’s sheep
