Why do executives find it such a surprise people don't like ads? Not even speaking upon brave, it seems to be a thing with VPs of big business.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

bravelets on suicide watch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait. So people have to actually click on the ads to get paid fractions of a cent? And people here think that's viable?

>>13519307
That reviewer is a moron. Ads are opt-in

>>13519401
>Wait. So people have to actually click on the ads to get paid fractions of a cent? And people here think that's viable?

brave is just an airdrop to indian click farms.

>>13519391
Idiots who can sell themselves to stock holders but who are completely flaccid when it's time to get work done.
Fuck I hate corporate life these days.

Another good one.

>>13519307
>i am bothered by an option/button that no ones forces me to enable/click.

The depth of retardedness some people manage to reach never fails to amaze me.

>>13519401
no it is just a pop up. You can ignore it or close it

Ads are not even on mobile versions, what is this all about?

If you turn the sound off (should DEFINITELY be the default setting) the ads are completely unobtrusive. Also you have to go out of your way to turn them on. The user is either deliberately fudding or is a complete retard that somehow turn ads on and doesn't know how to turn them off. Holy shit

>646 likes

Obviously fake

>>13519491
If that comment really did receive that many likes it's obviously a concerted effort. Google's coordinated pajeet farms out in full force

>>13519391
NPCs love ads. So much so that the Super Bowl ads is a huge topic of discussion.

>>13519961
Kek

>>13519391
Because all the research in the world shows ads are extremely effective. If people hate ads so much, why do they do everything ads tell them to?

>>13519961
>>13520005
The demographic that wholeheartedly consumes ads (mostly women, if it wasn't obvious) is not the demographic will use a weird and creepy advertising token.

Buy don't you want a BETTER and more PERSONALIZED advertising EXPERIENCE?

>>13519961
This is what Silicon Valley soys actually believe.

>>13519961
Jesus this fucking guy. People don't like superbowl ads because they're ads. People like superbowl ads because the enormous amount of normies who watch the superbowl has led to the price of a single ad costing millions of dollars which in turn has created the need for unique advertisements that are more like short comedy bits.

Aside from a few meme ads most ads are routinely hated and you all know it. You're deluding yourself if you think even the most braindead normie wakes up thinking "I would like to watch some ads today!". This is peak autism

>>13520274
A good rule of thumb is to assume that all unironic npc posters are undiagnosed schizophrenics

>>13519307

>>13520242
It’s true. At uni I look around and every single one of my classmates is browsing the web during class with NO ad blocker or tracking blocker extension. I’ve asked a couple why they don’t bother when they’re so easy to install and they just shrug.

>>13520305
Normies unironically laugh and find ads hilarious

>NPC's too stupid to follow simple instructions about how to utilize browser features
Eich should have seen this coming.

>>13519491
>>13519515
I you're underestimating the retardedness of the average Joe. Successful products are designed to be idiot-proof for good reason.

>>13520274
Found the ad loving npc

>"theyre more like works of modern art"
What a brainwashed cuck

>>13520672
I think a good litmus test for whether those likes are genuine or not is if any other reviews/comments have nearly as much activity/engagements in that short of time. There's nothing anything like that on the iOS app store.

>>13520005
>why do they do everything ads tell them to?
When was the last time you called 1-800-suck-my-dick in response to a TV ad telling you to do so?

Advertisements are compounded with products lining shelves and the only purpose they serve is to increase brand familiarity amongst the tens of other competing mystery brands in the store.

you clearly don't understand ads or how they (don't) work on the internet.

BAT will be worth over $1 per token this year.
You can FUD it all you want, but it won't change anything. BAT might be the only ETH token that wasn't scam from the get-go and deserves top 10 spot. You can either jump in and and enjoy massive gains or watch from the sidelines as others get rich, your choice faggot.

>>13519307
So I just updated to the new browser and it only imported one of my active window sessions. The other three collectively had about 1100 tabs in them. These were link threads from September 2018 - Feb 2019. Is there any way to recover these so I can finish archiving them?

>>13519307
You literally have to choose to have the ads.

>>13519401
>Wait. So people have to actually click on the ads to get paid fractions of a cent? And people here think that's viable?
Lol, I rather wait for metanet where I can pay 1/10 of a cent to not have ads

>>13519307

This review is so full of shit. You have to go out of your way to turn ad rewards on, by default they're disabled

>>13520175
>No BATard response

>>13520305
They don't even see them. Most people can inherintly tune them out of their viewing habits if they are under 40. Boomers fall for ads. Boomers don't use Brave

>>13520696
Nice strawman faggot

>>13520763
Yeah. Advertising is a trillion dollar industry because it doesn't work...

>>13520977
My dad does

>>13520841
Lol what

36 hours with Brave installed on my laptop. I'm literally just browsing as I usually do. Basically free BAT being given away and you brainlets are arguing about some shit reviews on the play store written by third worlders who are mad they can't game the system.

>>13519515
I clicked it a few hours ago.
FurryFox fucked up so /g/ told me to go install brave. But then I saw that comment and ended up staying with firefox

>>13521316
>...
this, just browse as normal and earn bat

>>13519403

Most people are. They dont undertand brave. This is bad for brave.

>>13521386
>listens to /g/
>listens to random pajeet on play store.
God damn anon it's almost as if you're incapable of thinking for yourself.

>>13521316
Do you have to use websites that specifically enable this feature or what? I basically only use 4chan, so is it even worth it for me? I doubt Hiro gives a shit about this.

>>13521426
/g/ never lost me money.
The comment wasn't a pajeet.

>>13521432
90% of my browsing time is spent on 4chan. It earns BAT regardless of what site you browse or what you're reading. You can be j/o to Mongolian Foot Porn 24/7 and still earn BAT.

>>13521435
I browse /g/. The vast majority of them are retarded zoomers that know fuckall about tech and even less about programming. Take their suggestions with a huge grain of salt.

>>13521461
I fell for the arch Linux and mpv memes and it's been a comfy 3 years

>>13521062
you sure are fucking dense in the head to not understand that ads on the internet aren't the same thing as ads on the TV
One programmers broke the entire ad industry just by writing a piece of software that blocks ads.
Another programmer broke the entire ad industry just by writing a piece of software that clicks literally every ad and destroys Google's ad pricing model.

>>13521472
Arch linux... anon, i...
I mean if it makes you happy to struggle with your computer at every waking moment, to each his own. Personally, I'd rather not break my whole system the minute i decide to upgrade my installed packages.

Pic related: during this time spent replying to anons and watching youtube I earned more BAT. What was that? 20 minutes?

>>13521483
And yet advertisers are still paying billions to advertise on the internet. Maybe you should let them know they are wasting their money.

>>13519307
BAT was always a retarded idea. It was just a failed browser going bankrupt that saw the ICO hype and used it to get themselves out of bankruptcy.

>>13521611
Brave was being shilled long before BAT integration. /g/ for as much as I dislike the audience shilled it themselves until it became "the thing" to hate on it and decided instead to push firefox or ungoogle chromium. Both of which are tranny projects lead by tranny devs for tranny users.

What happens if I just use a third party ad blocker while using Brave rewards? Would it be able to tell the ads aren't loading?

>>13521665
Brave automatically blocks advertising within the page (also popups). When you enable Brave ads you aren't actually turning off ad blocking. It's still blocking all ads. What you're doing is consenting for curated/tailored to you ads to be sent directly through the browser via a notification system on the bottom right. Happens twice an hour by default or up to 5 times an hour if you consent to that. The ads themselves are very unobtrusive anon. You can just close the notification if it's not something you're interested in.

>>13521653
brave had a lot of users before the ICO, especially the mobile version, but it was still a failure and going bankrupt, and the ICO was a cashgrab to keep them afloat. Non of the decentralized ideas made sense, only reason it got tons of hype is cause it was backed by an app with users and a famous person, not because it was a good idea.

>>13521741
you're *not interested in. Open or close the notification you still get paid for it regardless.

>>13521752
you can argue the merits of it "being a good idea" to you're blue in the face, but I'd rather go by more concrete metrics such as user growth, app installs, etc. That said if it was such a shit idea, why would facebook be looking to ape the BAT platform with their own facebook coin if it were "a bad idea"?

>>13521741
Oh neat, I enabled ads for no reason then lol. I thought they had to be enabled for Brave rewards to work.

>>13519307
Ads are disabled by default.

>>13521790
I'll believe facebook using BAT when I see it. It took the retarded BAT team 2 years to implement a simple fucking system using an ERC20, and they had like 100mil+ in the bank. That shit was a bad idea, and so far noone uses it.

>>13521795
not at all anon. That said, ad delivery seems to be very dependent on location. Most major metropolitan areas of the U.S. seem to have good ad coverage while other countries just get a "brave rewards coming soon!" message.

>>13521841
oh no anon. facebook isn't going to use BAT. They decided to make their own coin: Facebook coin that is attempting to mimic the BAT platform. They fucked up a couple of ways though, mainly that they decided on Facebook coin being a "stable coin" in much the same way USDT is. Meaning there's 0 incentive to hold it.

What they've essentially done is copied the BAT platform idea, neutered it, and created a rewards/loyalty program around it. View ads on facebook, get paid facebook dollars that are redeemable on you guessed it: facebook.

>>13521896
>What they've essentially done is copied the BAT platform idea, neutered it, and created a rewards/loyalty program around it. View ads on facebook, get paid facebook dollars that are redeemable on you guessed it: facebook.
Well facebook is a lot better than brave. It has 1000x the user base, and their products are actually better than the competition, whereas brave is not better than chrome.

If facebook creates a coin, it will be successful on its own, and that is a good idea. Whether or not it has a reward system for watching ads is not gonna make or break it. It's a tiny detail in the whole thing. Whereas in brave, it's their only selling point.

>>13521956
facebook is definitely larger than brave, but better? it's apples and oranges bud. One is a browser, the other a website/ads platform.

Personally I see no reason why both aren't capable of thriving independently of the other. I can get paid right now in BAT to j/o to midget leg porn and then take that earned BAT and donate it to my church youth group. There's real power in that anon.

>>13522009
>facebook is definitely larger than brave
you're retarded, I explicitly stated why one is better than the other.

1. Facebook has 1000x the user base.

2. Facebook has actual products that are better than the competition (whatsapp, groups, messenger, instagram, marketplace, etc.)

Brave has little users for a browser, and its product is objectively inferior to the competition (chrome). I am sure 95% of people like myself tried brave and then returned to chrome when brave kept bugging out.

Facebook is an objectively better company, and has better products than Brave.

>>13521544
get on my level

>>13522047
Facebook is rapidly loosing userbase
>https://www.techspot.com/news/79082-facebook-rapidly-losing-millennials-us-user-base-down.html
You are severly overestimating Facebook. Even among my normalfag acquaintances barely anyone is using it anymore. Everyone switched to SnapChat or some other bullshit.

>>13522047
lmao, i'm retarded when you're just pulling out nice round figures out of your ass to support your shit narrative.
>1000x
>95% of people

I've been using Brave on android for years now, and on the desktop since the electron builds. Few if any problems in all that time. The problems it did have were 100% related to blocking facebook/google tracking scripts that caused certain sites to break. You know the solution? disable "brave shields" for that one site. Boom fixed. If you or the other "95% of people" couldn't figure that shit out well there's only one thing to call you guys, isn't there?

>Brave has little users for a browser
where are you from pajeet? what's up with your grammar? You should know that's not how native english speakers talk.

>>13522106
I installed the stable build less than 48 hours ago ya bitch. give me a break.

>>13522116
>You are severly overestimating Facebook. Even among my normalfag acquaintances barely anyone is using it anymore. Everyone switched to SnapChat or some other bullshit.
That is incorrect. Facebook is not just facebook, facebook is instagram, whatsapp, messenger, marketplace, jobs, groups, etc. Each one of their app is a product on its own with its own growing or dwindling userbase. For example I havent posted or added any friend on facebook in years, but I use groups, marketplace, whatsapp and instagram daily.

Anyone thinking that facebook is dying is fucking retarded. The keep adding new products yearly and destroying industries. For example groups have destroyed forums, marketplace and jobs is destroying craigslist, whatsapp and IG are still dominating their niches.

Only low IQ normies like yourself think facebook is dead. There's frontpage reddit articles daily about the death of facebook. It couldn't be further than the truth.

>>13520175
How none of you autistic retards take this into consideration is beyond me

The demographics who pay attention to ads don't care about wasting money, so why would they care about some measly fucking money to click on ads?

>>13522188
all they have to do is disable ads then

>>13522188
correct, the people poor enough to care about making 10c a day are not a valuable demographic to advertise to, so no company will pay good money to do so.

>>13522215
so why would BAT have any value if no one uses it? Brave is already an inferior product to chrome.

>>13522188
You've clearly forgotten about one of the biggest markets of all anon. Children. This is the audience making youtubers/twitch streamers rich. If you think they wont earn/donate "free money" (BAT) so they can give it to their favorite streamer or buy some fucking fortnite skin with you have another thing coming.

>>13522234
Children are not the biggest market of all. I've bought plenty of Youtube advertising and I do my best to block children channels. Most industries do the same.

I'm not sure who's actually paying for these ads targeting children. Maybe movies or kids games or something. It's a tiny % of the global advertising market.
