alt Hacker NewsI don't hate Brave, but blocking legitimate ads and then putting in their own ads is a racket.
> Creators also don’t get “a” cut. Brave gives 70% of earnings on ads to users, and those can then decide how much they reward to the creators of whatever content they consume.
Ie, creators are offered a cut - in a roundabout way.

There is nothing "legitimate" about ads that track me and that I would block anyway.
It is not a racket when the website owners are mass-injecting trackers and security risks into my browser. Some egregious pages have 700+ (!!) ad partners.
Hell, it is the opposite of a racket because other adblockers / adblocking people pay zilch. That is the racket. Any BAT user is a +70% gain.
I’ll pay you. I won’t compromise my devices for you.
