Replacement doesn't imply a reuse of a specific location. Taking an ad out your browser and placing a different ad on your desktop is still replacement. Do you really not understand that advertising isn't about space in physical world, but about space in your mind? What brave does is absolutely replacement. They replace a bit of light that was emanating from one part of your device's screen to invade your attention to make some other party money with a bit of light that emanates from a different part of your device's screen to invade your attention to make them money. How in the world is that not "replacement"?
- hunterb123 4y agoBrave has a built in adblocker for the user that is on by default. Brave also has a rewards program the user can opt-in to get scheduled text notifications on their system. I could see your point somewhat if their rewards system was opt-out or tied to whether the adblocker was on, but it's not.
- BrendanEich 4y agoHi Asa, macOS dictionary says re·place /rəˈplās/ verb 1. take the place of. "Ian's smile was replaced by a frown" 2. put (something) back in a previous place or position. "he drained his glass and replaced it on the bar" Notice the use of place and position. If you say we "replace ads", I think you are misusing the word replace. I hope you won't from here on, because we definitely still get smeared with the lie that we replace ads in-situ in publisher pages.
