Yes,
No.

Never made a single iota of BAT in 6 months of using this browser

>> No.15008232

yep I used it
then I had my publisher account closed because I tipped myself grant money while trying to figure out how to utilize the system
now I don't use it

try to imagine a company so stupid that it bans its own customers while they are testing a feature that is described as being in beta testing, and you have Brave

Yes, I’ve gotten like $10 worth of BAT a month since BAT ads released.

I exclusively use Brave — use it at work, at home, on my phone. Unfortunately iOS doesn’t have the ads/wallet yet but it’ll be cool as fuck when they do. Once I can sync all my devices with the same wallet I’ll be a happy User.

Here’s what Brave needs:
1) more daily active users
2) more advertisers
3) bigger variety of ads/genre of ads

also needs more interesting ads, but that’s not Brave’s job, it’s the advertisers’ jobs. They’re used to being lazy as fuck with online ads and phoning it in. Brave gives a huge opportunity for creative, interactive advertising because the Users are actually going to pay attention to the ad rather than mute it or close it immediately.

HOW IN THE ACTUAL FUCK do you do it? I've used Brave for about 7 weeks now and I have 0.30 BAT. In fact, even this I'll only receive sometime in August apparently.
I even cranked it to "show five ads an hour" in the advanced settings and it did absolutely nothing. My internet usage is equal parts porn, online research, Youtube and 4chan shit posting. Is see why the latter wouldn't produce any BAT but YouTube is the biggest ad slut on the net, they even updated it recently so an ad automatically plays after a video finishes. I spent 8+ hours a day online. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong...

People really, REALLY underestimate how much money is involved in online advertising/data collection, and how devastatingly broken the whole online advertising system is.

Brave/BAT addresses both of these and attempts to fix them in an ethical way. People keep trying to twist Brave's efforts to make Brave seem like the bad guy but the system is already so fucking horrible, shady and unethical. It's almost like a lot of content creators have Stockholm syndrome. They're so used to gaming this retarded broken system that they don't want to change it. It can't go on like the status quo forever.

>> No.15012263

>>15012165
I'm tired of repeating myself, but again: what is the point of BAT/Brave if the whole thing is centralized anyway?
They can kick you off if they don't like your content, as it already happened.
In addition to that, you need to go through a KYC to cash out your BAT.

The whole thing just looks pretty gay to me.

You're full of shit. Send me a link/example of Brave "kicking someone off" (what the fuck are you talking about?) because they "didn't like" someone's content.

You can't. Because 1) Brave can't "kick someone off"; but Brave can ban your Uphold account from defrauding the system and 2) Brave can't stop an account from donating earned BAT to whoever they want, because you can still manually donate to a wallet address.

The system is centralized in that you need to KYC to "cash out". Brave plans on decentralizing the system as much as possible. Keep in mind this whole thing has never been done before.

The whole "m-muh content freedom" critique of Brave is fucking retarded considering your other choice is relying on Twitter and YouTube to not ban/shadow ban your content and demonetize your accounts. Yeah, that sure is working out.

I tipped myself for testing but it was like right when it came out, then I stopped and got normal payments. I think once all the pajeets showed up maxing out the grants to tip themselves they probably started blanket banning the activity if you have a certain % of grants vs total earnings.
