As a user of Brave, I'm consciously making this decision, thank you very much. What's your idea as to how content creators should be supported?

  The problem is that if you start paying content creators, then you're giving data to another party, i.e. your bank.
  • Galaxeblaffer 7y ago
    depends.. Brave has actually got it's own token that could be used to pay creators, not sure how the transactions are logged though but i'd imagine that you can privately pay without being tracked
    • amelius 7y ago
      Yes, but there's always a third party that can in theory collect all your data.

        Who? I'm not really familiar with how Brave does it, but there are plenty of cryptocurrencies where that's definitely _not_ the case.
        • amelius 7y ago
          It's still not clear whether untrackable cryptocurrencies will be allowed by regulators.

    Alternatives based on peer-to-peer (micro)payments are already staring to emerge, e.g. this guys is building patreon alternative based on Lightning Network (Bitcoin's second layer able to handle millions of tx per seconds for negligible fee): https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/aacw3h/im_creating_a_selfhosted_lightning_patreon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/aacw3h/im_creating...

  Why do you need to be tracked to support content creators?
  • Ajedi32 7y ago
    You don't. Which is why Brave's ads don't do that.
