Brave Browser: Now users can earn Basic Attention Token (BAT) for viewing ads

[tabas]

People really ready to spend their time to watch ads for a few sats?

Yes.
But just so you know, AFAIK this feature from Brave is no longer. If I'm wrong, it is their other feature that allows to earn.

It sounds interesting，just viewing ads and you can get the BAT token，but when I did the experiment，disappointed is the only i want to say，the time spent is not in direct proportion to the benefit，so i unloaded Brave Browser. Anyway，this is a nice try.

Price of the Bat token is down 9.51% in the last 7 days.  It might have something to do with Brave CEO Brendan Eich and his controversial comments.  This is not how head of a company should be acting if he wants people to trust in his products.

Unfortunately, Brave has lost its trust a lot over the past few months. I've been with Brave from the start, even when the browser was beta. I've used it as my main browser on desktop and iPhone for over a year. But the decisions and the broken promises of what can be done with the earned BATs have led me to distance myself from the browser. I haven't used it at all since the summer. And it seems like Brave isn't learning from past mistakes. It's a shame it's a good product.

I would say so yes there are enough people willing to watch computer ads for satoshis.    Just look at how many people use crypto faucets.

It is a similar concept and its a working one.  You just need to stare at your screen and you will earn free bitcoin.  It is not difficult and if you are already viewing your screen you can earn easy money too.

wait . you can now earn free sats/btc on brave ? i thought its the bat token that they are giving away as a reward but bat token can still be converted into a sats/btc once we cashed them out outside the brave platform and about the ads , we dont need to stare them if that is our goal to earn but you can move away from your device because the ads will still play automatically .

i watch ads till the end if im interested but if i can do that for other browsers that doesnt reward me why not do it inside this browser .

No, there is still only the possibility to earn BAT tokens which you can withdraw when you are fine with doing a KYC and then you can exchange those BAT into Bitcoin if you will. But on the one hand you need to do a KYC for little money and on the other hand the earnings have decreased over the last months. So it is not really worth it to participate on the program just to make money. However, you can make some side earnings to spend them for content creators.

Brave now supports the new 2020 Macbooks M1 processor.  The added support will allow Mac users to earn BAT tokens.

Every body is not the same when it comes to life. Those little sats might eventually turn out to be something for them and I believe this is working for brave browser because i believe that strategy is bringing users to Brave browser and this is not the only forum i have seen this discussion about brave browser. Just like asking why people do Faucet?

[xperiance1814]

Actually, I think Brave browser is a very good one, I started to use it since 2 weeks ago, and I really appreciate it.

Easy, light, fast and you earn BAT, even without having to watch ads... Just by surfing and letting the browser block the ads it gives you rewards.

I temporarily used Ecosia when it came up over a decade ago (guess it was around 2010/2011). It's an alternative which uses a customized Bing search (formerly Google search) and integrating ads. A big part of the ads income are used to plant trees around the world. It is nothing special, just another search engine that serves a special purpose. You get the same results as you would get using Bing. You have always been able to add it via addon to your browser.

Brave browser is planning to launch its own search engine called Brave Search.

How can you find out how much you can get for viewing ads? And what does it look like and is there a geolocation limitation?

Brave browser is one of the legit applications I know on cellphones or computers so many people use it because you use it to make money with bat tokens. I also know that it is safe to use and the security is strong and hackers can't just enter what I know to make money. a bat token is every view of ads and clicks of websites or links but it depends because there are websites that pay more.

BAT has pumped up 32% in the last 24 hours and it has reached a new all-time high of $1.20 the previous high was in 2018 of $0.88, with a market capitalization of about $1.5 billion.
