Can Big Tech ever truly put users first? In this solo episode, join Luke Mulks, VP of Business Operations at Brave Software, as he dissects the so-called Principal-Agent Problem: the ubiquitous issue where the priorities of tech giants overshadow the needs of users.

Key Takeaways:

  • How Brave’s opt-in advertising model both respects user privacy and empowers users to earn revenue

  • The deceptive nature of dark patterns and the importance of transparent, user-friendly features

  • They history of web monetization, from the early days of site-specific control to today’s all-encompassing tracking by ad tech giants like Google and Facebook

  • Why you can’t have freedom without privacy
