> imagine how frustrating it would be to put a real dollar value on every day browsing of content Sure, but the user is in control of that to some degree with how it's currently implemented in Brave. I can choose to exclude sites from receiving payment and I can also choose to award a greater proportion of my monthly spending to specific sites of my choosing. If a site is engaging in dark-patterns to attract my money, then no money for them. > I think the natural conclusion of such a system is further entrenching Facebook/Google and other such social media giants. Browsers will be able to work around that though once they establish that a certain site is behaving like a walled garden. Brave already does this with Youtube. Rather than payments going to the entire site, Brave attributes views and viewing time to the individual channels you watch. If some other megasite has a significant amount of individual content creators I'd imagine they'd do a similar thing.
