I agree mostly with the Anti-features mentioned on that page.
Also, who wants that running on their phone, eating battery? Not I.
This isn't the first app/addon that does something like that and while I kinda like it, at the same time I'm skeptical if generating even more traffic is a good way to fix the internet...
Mostly agree. I could see some use cases for this, but those are super niche. Naw, probably better to avoid for the general populace.
With all due respect, sometimes, it can be good to do a little bit of malicious compliance. It could also be called "Work to Rule".
"You want my data, fine! Have this firehose of random data!"
You not wrong.
Lol, just don't think it's worth burning your battery for it.
