Here's why:

Self-serve brings expectations of 24/7 availability and support. We are ramping resources to handle this, but it will be iterative.

Being 100% real, our ad delivery is different than traditional ad platforms. The delivery cadence and volume is different (users see a max of 1-5 ads/hr in Brave; outside of Brave, they see 3-5 ads per page load). The matching algorithms are different. The pacing is different. Conversion funnel adheres to physics, but the timing is different when you aren't carelessly shotgunning a ton of ads in front of a person.

Audience cohorts are different, and our audiences are growing each month to be more mainstream.

My point with all this is that there has been a lot of daily collaboration between ad operations (through our managed services team), engineering and with our testers to fine tune defaults for each campaign goal and gauge performance across different categories.

We don't want to rush a release to self-serve for advertisers to begin using, and have them in a situation where they operate based on traditional experience, that may end up setting them up for poorer performance than they would have through managed services. Getting the defaults tuned for different campaign goals takes some time, but ultimately sets our self-serve advertisers up for better success.

We are selling in to more broader advertisers, and are factoring in differences from category performance as we go.

Brave Together:

Working on scaling for a Brave Together release across our channels beyond Nightly (I am working on this with the team now).

You can use Brave Together now, for free, in any Brave Channel at https://together.brave.com - please provide feedback when you can.

Doesn't take too much of a stretch to see how we could work BAT into Brave Together in some novel ways.

BAT SKU work

In progress. Some of this effort was on pause during stability work, but has recently resumed.

Again, want to emphasize the importance of stabilizing what we have in market so we can market the product and introduce additional features with the greatest chance of success. We could release a lot of things on shaky ground and end up doing more harm than good.

We are working around the clock, and sometimes updates on progress fall by the wayside. We can do better, and will work on being more up front on progress.

Will pass along the feedback re: roadmap.

Also encourage people to check our github for release train features and focus:

Hope this helps.

cameron is unironically /ourguy/ keeping brave accountable 24/7 on the subreddit lmao.

I think brave released a major tv commercial today in japan. Its a pretty simple ad with what some people believe is a famous voice actor. I have no idea what hes saying but i think its creating some interest. Perfect timing also now that firefox was pretty popular in japan and firefox has probably had its worst week in its history this week.

>>22146037
Any chance you have a source for where I could find it?

Another scoop from today for people wondering what else the BAT token can extend to.

"While the Brave browser represents the first "BAT-enabled application" and is the primary focus of BAT Roadmap 1.0, the team intends to extend the BAT ecosystem beyond the Brave browser. We envision the BAT platform being extended to other web browsers, chat/messaging applications, games and other attention-economy apps via open source mobile app SDKs, connected TV SDKs, etc. (Read more about our upcoming BAT SDK, here.) For more info on the potential areas of expansion, see our Driving User Adoption and Extending the BAT Platform blog post.

The BAT SDK that will allow developers to integrate BAT-functionality (such as privately-matched ads with revenue share) into their own applications, allowing developers to monetize their apps and reward their userbase."

"I don’t want to corner the browser market; I think Brave will have a good growth curve and lots of market share among elite users who are very economically valuable, but BAT is the big play. I want the Basic Attention Token to be used widely, which means we will bring it to other browsers and other attention apps — things like podcast players, or games that have ads in them.” —Brendan Eich

Theres a few tweets about it on twitter. You will have to search "brave browser" and look for some kanji and then hit the translate tweet button.

>>22145865
so Brave Together is working and usable? Brave has a competitor to Zoom and its not advertising it to anyone?

I am an investor not a trader and long term thinking like this is why I've been comfy holding this since ten cents.

Not selling until $5 and even then it'll only be at most 25% of my stack.

I think the most marketing its had was just an article, a Plebbit thread, and maybe mentioned in the weekly podcast. Its been out since early Summer and barely hear anything about it

Alrighty. Following some tweets I found this page. I was unable to find the video - but I didn't look very hard.

Does anyone have any insight as to what they are talking about or why it is trending so hard in those areas?
