BAT doesn't replace ads with ads - it leaves that part of the website blank like a conventional adblocker. You pay a monthly fee of your choice to the browser, and it distributes that via the ad network to the sites you visit.

It's a 'set and forget' way of supporting your favourite sites. User experience wise it's no better than Firefox + uBlock origin, it's purely a moral choice.

You DON'T pay a monthly fee for anything. That statement was terribly misleading.

Monthly fee of your choice, regular donation... I may have been imprecise about what happens at the back end, but I think I described the user experience fairly well.
