> They should hire me
The brilliance of creating a utility token like BAT is so that the creator (Brave) can get rich off speculation, and a horde of people will defend the creator online because they have a couple bucks invested.
It's one of the most insufferable parts of anything to do with cryptocurrency and it's why it's hard to have honest discussion.
I certainly don't think it's necessary nor useful to try and label you as a shill. It's just that BAT is one of the reasons why it's hard to take Brave seriously, and it's why you shouldn't be so dismissive of people who raise issues with Brave much less call them shills of ad-tech or rival browsers (as you did).

Can you provide citation to most users blocking ads? Also note that many people browse on mobile.
I just see the potential, and want Brave to succeed.
> "What happens to the small sites that don't track users, but display some ads to keep the servers running? Hope that they get "rewarded with BAT's accordingly to the users attention" ?"
What happens to them nowadays, now that most users block ads? They struggle, and they will continue struggling. Brave won't change any of that.
PS: I guess I should ask Brave to hire me for PR
