I understand Eich has been controversial and Brave gets a lot of flak in return, regardless of issues like the ones raised in the article. Yet, I remain a fan of Brave because of Brave Rewards. I love being rewarded based on my usage, even if the amount is worthless and the ads are random crypto shit. The idea of a company actually spreading revenue based on my attention back to me makes me happy and I wouldn't mind if more ad-based services do this.

So i can only believe that it will be a net-negative in the end. It can feel rewarding, but financially, the advertiser can't pay you enough.
- hiidrew 5y agoThat's true, the whole thing on my end is likely some fallacy. On another note, I've always thought the idea of constructing your own ad profile could be interesting. Like selecting the types of products and related content that you'd want to be pushed. From my understanding this is kind of the goal of social apps but it's obviously not self-directed. I guess it is in some capacity based on your behavior but it's not like you're intentionally clicking selecting you'd be interested and actually would maybe buy.
