    this, it’s a cryptomoney scheme. They need to promote Brave in order to increase the value of the cryptomoney token. There’s also an affiliate referral link program I’ve seen spammed a couple of times

      if all of this will turn out to be an elaborate scheme to increase the value of BAT, that would be very impressive lol

        Exactly, it is astonishing how easy to sell garbage appealing to greed. And how easily people consent to believe that something useless has value. Brave not paying in USD, it pays with useless token, so literally people got as much money for watching brave ads as they believe the value of bat token is.

          you can technically get usd for your bat tokens on some exchanges, no?

            yes, but amount of usd is determined be peoples estimations how much bat costs :) And nothing prevents it from sinking to 0 one day.

            upd. not sure though, ca a year ago I tried brave , got ad and bats, but there was no withdrawal mechanism or it required phone number and kyc
