>We share your payment directly with the sites you read.
thank god for that, almost got upset for a moment there. regardless of what people think of them many, many, websites rely on ads to survive and if browsers came with the feature built-in all those sites would just die.

looks like firefox will only "block" ads on the partnered sites and these sites will receive a cut of the money mozilla gets

that's actually a fine idea as long as it only applies to the partnered sites (and stay that way forever). im sure these sites will earn more money from this than from ads.

seems like it's not the same as an adblocker, you do support the partnered sites you read. so you will get no ads on them and the sites will still get an income.
there are people that want to support that way, it's akin to twitch subscriptions, which are basically voluntary donations

I’m not annoyed by spying since I don’t use firefox in the first place.

Brave/BAT is unironically one of the best projects and ideas in crypto, but unfortunately that means nothing in terms of the price of BAT.

BAT will either never moon, or not moon for a long, long time (requires mass adoption to have a chance). Awesome idea/token, poor investment unfortunately.

That's one thing that BAT brainlets don't realize.

1. Is Eich a genius and legit?
Yes.
2. Did he use his wits to cuck Google and reskin chrome with built in ad blocker?
Yes.
3. Did he use his wits to cuck investors and do an easy cash grab during the 12 month ICO craze?
Yes.

Bat has no utility, it's a funding token. Brave has no utility either, it's a chrome reskin. Eich cucked everyone, because he's a genius. He's just gonna keep selling his tokens to fund his reskin browser, and gonna keep giving away tokens to fuel adoption to his reskin browser. The Bat token will never go up in value.
