As opposed to the status quo, where our attention is monetized and we get no benefit?

  Of course you get to benefit, you get to see the content without paying for it.

    But I'd rather pay for it than have my eyeballs mined for vastly more than the value I'm getting. Brave allows me to do that easily.

      Most people don’t, and if enough people did it would invalidate the model for everyone since adverse selection would mean only the worst residual customers get left viewing ads.

        It wouldn't invalidate the model, because advertisers aren't actually essential to the whole thing. Advertisers are included because they're part of the status quo, but the system works pretty well if you just have content creators + users that pay them with BAT (the key part being it's automatic and doesn't require 10 different subscriptions to support 10 different creators).
