i don't understand.
the main goal of a browser is to see internet ... and block ADs.
I thought Brave was supposed to show you different kind to ADS, a specially prepared king by browser itself.
And then you would earn money by browsing sites with these Ads. If that is the other way around and you can tip sites you like - it is far less interesting.
viewing the web on normal browsers gives you two options.
see ad's from primary advertisers(option 1) or block ad's from primary advertisers(option 2).
brave, from reading between the lines offers 2
new options when you choose to block standard first party ads(option 2).
A. remain blocked and receive nothing, but you have to pay for this.
B. view 'brave' clean ad's you prefer, and you get paid.
the only issue i see is the payout
the payout comes from, what i can see
people putting funds in, to be able to totally block ad's(option 2: A)
clean advertisers paying to show clean ads to people who chose(option 2: B)
where the funds are shared like this

EG someone pays in $5 to block ads for 1000 websites
it breaks up as
$2.75 - goes to the websites that had ad's blocks(option 2: A). where the share = $0.00275 per site viewed
$0.75 - goes to a pot to pay websites when a users chooses(option 2: B). *
$0.75 - goes to brave
$0.75 - goes to a pot to pay users when a users chooses(option 2: B). *
* where the share can vary depending on how many users choose the option and how many sites those users click
yet if everyone (usual the penny pinching sig campaigners and faucet raider mindset people) wanted a payday( option 2: B) they will be left fighting over the small pot of funds.
the more sites they click, the more users wanting a payday, the less of a 'share' they get.
imagine for every 1 person putting in $5 and go for(option 2: A) there were 99 users going for (option 2: B)
now we have 99 people fighting over 75cents.
those 99 people are going to speed click through sites to get a bigger tally of sites viewed compared to other (option 2: B) people. in hopes of getting a bigger share of the 75cents (same game physics as mining hashrate competition for share of the block reward pot)
resulting in more clicking and more diluting the share of the pot. which as a side effect also means the website receiving the constant barrage of clicks from raiders causing the websites to get higher bandwidth but less back per click.
also as a secondary effect, the income the website would get from primary advertisers(option 1) would decline too.
this is due to the primary advertisers(option1) seeing alexa rankings/google analytics of high views due to the fund raiders trying to cheat, causing the site to be deemed as lacking 'quality' clicks, so the site gets demoted and receives less per click from genuine option 1 advertisers.
so i hope brave has formulated alot of use case scenarios and done alot of predictive maths to ensure a fair income for websites and limit the income of fund raiders, otherwise it wont be sustainable
