The major problem with crypto-bros is that they think "money" is a good enough answer. Money is an extrinsic motivator, and extrinsic motivators extinguish intrinsic motivation.

Money will never be a good enough reason to do things. Especially not the infinitesimal fractions of garbage coins that web3 will pay.

I don't know. Brave promised me money, and I still haven't gotten anything of significant value from that.

Really? BAT was pretty profitable. Showing me a few ads as desktop notifications paid for a lot of my transaction costs in the early days. I just looked, BAT is up 754% over all time.

Twice, on different devices, I tried Brave as my default browser for month with ads turned on, and both times after a month of clicking on ads, the browser still said I had 0.0 BAT.

Sigh, not sure why my first comment was downvoted.

No idea as to why you didn't get any payments, but I do know that you don't have to click on the ads.

"Users are rewarded for viewing ad notifications as they appear in Brave. Users are not rewarded for clicking on ads."

I have about $100 in BAT from the initial Brave giveaway, even though I almost never use Brave aside from testing.
