It might be a little bit of a chicken-and-egg type thing: I just checked my "Brave Rewards" tab and was surprised to find exactly two (2) of all the websites I'd visited in the last month accepted Brave rewards. That's the first time I think I've seen any, after using Brave for almost 9 months. I like the idea of putting in $10 or $20/mo for funding websites I visit, but why should I put in $10 a month if nobody's actually taking the money?

Does your money get distributed equally? Ie if you put in $10/mo but only visit one site once, does it get all of the $10, or is there some sort of price per-view being negotiated somehow?

  It seems like it's distributed based on % of attention. You can also set the minimum number of visits and minimum page time for a site to start counting.

  Didn't Brave use to take the money and "safekeep it for the publishers"? I don't get your question - we're talking about $10 over say one year - who cares how exactly it's split, whether it's evenly or otherwise? Or better, since these sites most likely publish their donation addresses, why not donate directly and split it the way you want rather than some magic metric like "attention" or number of HTTTPS calls? These payments are a solution looking for a problem.

  FYI there are lots of different ways to contribute money to a website EDIT within the Brave / BAT system. You can manually "tip" a website a fixed amount of BAT; you can set up a monthly donation of BAT to the website; and you can have a fixed amount that automatically gets sent once a month to the websites you've viewed based on how much time you've spent there. And of course there are two ways to get money into your account: 1) Upload money directly, 2) Look at ads through the Brave ad network. So far I've only been doing #2, which for me generates between $0.50 and $1 worth of BAT every month. For the automatic division -- it's not exactly clear to me what happens. Is all of my $0.50 next month going to be divided between those two websites that are registered? Are they only getting their own little share of a few cents each? If so, what's happening to the BAT for the other websites?
