It does not sound like the same thing if you are not forced to watch ads (I think you have to opt in to receive rewards). In fact what Brave does is they replace existing ads, iirc.
- frereubu 6y agoIt's not identical, hence "almost literally", but the notion of explicitly selling your attention to advertisers is getting pretty close in my eyes.
- _red 6y agoCompared to how google treats you?
- mthoms 6y agoBrave doesn't replace ads. You can do either, or both of: 1) Block existing ads (like any other ad blocker) 2) Opt in to Brave ads (which are served via system notifications). If you opt in, you can get "paid" in BAT. You can cash this out (from an exchange) or donate them to the sites you visit. Realistically, it will never be an amount worth cashing out, so I suspect most people donate it to the sites and content creators they like. Thats what I do anyways.
