brave uses ads to generate revenue for users. But the tokens might be used in the future to incentivize more direct behaviors, e.g. incentivize users to sign up or post quality content or buy a product. This would completely bypass the advertising ecosystem and the nuissances it creates, connecting users and makers directly. It's still marketing, but direct. There are many possibilities when payments are frictionless.
- Simon_says 7y agoRealistically, what kind of money are we talking about? There is some amount of money I would sell my attention for, but it’s somewhere in the multiple hundreds of dollars per hour. Less than that, and my effort is more efficiently spent on other things. More than that, and I’m extremely suspicious of the motives of who would pay that and why. Get real. Ads are disgusting.
- buboard 7y agothere are already "offer walls", i.e. incentivized actions that reward users with small amounts of money. Or users could e.g. be rewarded if their amazon reviews are highly rated. there is an incentive for websites to do that. it doesnt even have to be about ads
