I find it hard that people are going to change their primary browser (a big ask) and post for content, when they can simply continue use their existing browser, and install an extension ublock origin). Maybe brave plans in having extensions as well?
- vbezhenar 11y agoUsers will be paid for watching ads. It's an innovative approach.

- alfiedotwtf 11y agoHaven't read into this, but what's to stop ad-watching farms?
- zymhan 11y ago" our ad-matching partner takes a share (15%), we take our share (15%), we reserve the user revenue share of the total payment (15%)" I missed the part about the user getting a chunk of it. This makes way more sense now.
- epoch1970 11y agoI wouldn't say it's innovative, given the existence of companies like AllAdvantage [1] or ePIPO [2] well over a decade ago.

- sudojudo 11y agoI used AllAdvantage back in the day, mouse moving script and all. Ran it 14-16 hours a day on a second computer and made $40-$60 a month. Can't complain. The down-side was the overhead, it was a noticeable strain on my computer, which is what prompted me to set it up on a dedicated machine. Pretty sure I was on dial-up then too, which just made things worse. There was a large group of us on IRC all doing the same thing. Little jerks like us ruined it for everyone.
- blackrose 11y agoI would do the same thing today. Seriously, who wants to spend their mortal life actually watching ads? Do they actually enrich anyone's life?
- placeybordeaux 11y agoI have gotten a couple ads recently that I appreciated, in that they reminded me of something I meant to buy but forgot about.
- rokhayakebe 11y agoI find it hard that people use the same browser for everything.
- coldtea 11y agoWhy would they use different browsers?
- rokhayakebe 11y agoI am not sure, but I use different browser for different things. Google + Chrome for day to day. Firefox + Chrome for searches I need not personalized at all. Bing Web/Video + Firefox Incognito for grey matters. And I would like a browser optimized and private which serves only for media, say for watching Vikings and GOT online.
- coldtea 11y agoSounds outlier-ish. Not something I'd intuitively expect most people to do.
