“……Onerep’s Belarusian CEO……”
Good, but I still cancelled my monitor subscription and I’ll just go back to doing it manually.
Shelest maintained that Nuwber has “zero cross-over or information-sharing with Onerep”
My guy, that is really not the issue.
“In truth, if I hadn’t taken that initial path with a deep dive into how people search sites work, Onerep wouldn’t have the best tech and team in the space.”
That is accidentally a lot closer to the issue.
You can’t “be better” your way out of selling the solution to a problem you caused. And may still be causing.
I’ll be interested to see how seamless Mozilla is able to make the transition away from Onerep for users. I’ve been subscribed to Mozilla Monitor for a bit over a month, and the service has been decent enough for what it is. I know a bunch of people dropped their subscriptions when the original story dropped, but I’m probably going to stick it out just to see how it goes.
Already kinda saw the expense of Mozilla Monitor as mostly an investment in Mozilla’s financial independence anyway, while getting something out of it for myself in the process. And while they absolutely should have done better vetting, not exactly sure I trust the alternatives that much more. Considering Incogni is owned by Surfshark which is owned by Nord. Both Incogni and DeleteMe sure buy a lot of YouTube sponsor spots - not that that necessarily means anything, but I find it’s best to be skeptical of the companies that go full on squarespace with YouTube sponsorships.
