As far as I understand it, using the browser with the default settings is basically like using Chrome with ad blocking (and tracking protection and all of that) already built in.

The only opt in part is allowing ads, which you get paid for viewing.

You don't get paid. You get tokens which you can then provide to creators.

You do get paid, considering you can sell the tokens. I expect the tokens I've earned across all my devices to be worth a nice few hundred USD some day.

It seems like the transaction is more akin to 'rewarded' than 'paid', but I'm not sure that detracts from your point.
