Not defending it in anyway. but strategically I feel like Brave should take the money, and just email the creator every 3 months saying you have X amount of money you can claim. Of course, if Brave is just profiting this money that's pretty shitty.
- jjeaff 7y agoEven if they do that, it isn't right. They are removing ads and thus revenue from content creators. They have no right to do that and then skim some profit before paying out. And even if they did, they have no way of knowing if what they are paying is more or less than what the creator would have gotten had their content not been modified.

- tomrod 7y agoThey have the same right a website has to show me ads. I don't click on links to be advertised to.
- judge2020 7y agoWait, why should brave get to throw its own ads on example.com? If the little fish and big fish were swapped, would you say the same if Chrome had an [opt-in] box for replacing all non-google ads with doubleclick ones?
- tomrod 7y agoI wasn't clear. Both are unethical in my view, even if one is widely practiced.
- jjeaff 7y agoNo, but you can always ignore those ads or not click on the sites that serve them. But in the case of Brave, they are essentially modifying the producers content without their consent.
