    The red flag is that they quietly added crypto and made it opt-out by default. They have a history of shady things like this over the years, such as using ad referral links. Immediately after they get caught, they go on a marketing campaign and drown out the controversy with an influx of new users.

    They basically act like it would only take a small sack of money to get them to sell all their users down the river.

      the red flag for me is that they have anything to do with cryptocurrencies at all. Anything else is superfluous details.

      I view anything to do with cryptocurrency as a scam. Which, I have found, is the safest bet to make.

        It’s incredibly volatile as an investment, so yes avoiding it would be safest.

        Cryptomining as a feature in software is most definitely a scam.
