> The idea that a single user browsing the web could have earned Brave anywhere near $25 in ad revenue is (coming from someone who worked in the ad industry for a couple years) completely absurd.
Wait, is that what my attention is worth to the online ad industry? I would gladly pay <$25/month to not be tracked for ads. (Or, even better, enjoy that as a consumer right protected by law.)
- graeme 7y agoI think they're talking about an average user. Someone willing to pay not to get ads is probably worth more than $25.
- divbzero 7y agoFair point. I currently pay $0 for a decent ad blocker but my DNS is still unencrypted. I would not be surprised if my former ISP (Big Cable Co) found a way to track me that way, hopefully my current ISP (local utility) would not. Also suspect that data can leak through the ad blocker anyway via first-party requests.
