Essentially yes[1], which is why I'll never be onboard with Brave or any solutions that rely on it.

- news_to_me 10y agoI don't see what's wrong with this. Ads suck, but people need to make money for the content they produce. I don't see anyone complaining about ads in physical newspapers or magazines (even though they can be pretty substantial) – the difference is that ads on the web track you, slow down your pages, and can be insecure. The real solution is to find a reasonable compromise that balances everyone's interest, and that's what Brave is trying to do.
- marssaxman 10y agopeople need to make money for the content they produce No, not really; people just need to make a living somehow. It's convenient when that can happen as a result of creative activity, but the vast majority of people producing content do so because they want to, not because they are getting paid for it.
