RE: Airdrop #11: Receive free BAT Tokens in the Brave Browser
What is the benefit of paying publishers, does it just get them to adopt the BAT token? I guess I don't understand the purpose of paying out your personal BAT token to publishers
The power behind Brave is retaining not having mass data collected on your. The Brave browser blocks almost all the advertising/tracking on a page.
Paying content creators for good content vs page views an idea I like. You can consume content and reimburse the producer for not being blasted with ads, pop ups, and tracking scripts. If you use it on mobile you really have faster load times and consume less data.
if everything was paid content, the content would be much better. free content wont be as good as paid content in my opinion. you can see the effects with steem. we pay with our attention and voting power. content creators get real $ out of it, if they exchange for btc than to fiat. content without advertisement is much better in terms of privacy etc. we are paying with our data, identities for the "free" content. so i strongly believe in concepts like STEEMit or BAT
Does owning BAT generate you more BAT? I need to look into this a bit more because I really like the premise
