Brave 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.
