Does your money get distributed equally? Ie if you put in $10/mo but only visit one site once, does it get all of the $10, or is there some sort of price per-view being negotiated somehow?

FYI there are lots of different ways to contribute money to a website EDIT within the Brave / BAT system. You can manually "tip" a website a fixed amount of BAT; you can set up a monthly donation of BAT to the website; and you can have a fixed amount that automatically gets sent once a month to the websites you've viewed based on how much time you've spent there.

And of course there are two ways to get money into your account: 1) Upload money directly, 2) Look at ads through the Brave ad network.

So far I've only been doing #2, which for me generates between $0.50 and $1 worth of BAT every month.

For the automatic division -- it's not exactly clear to me what happens. Is all of my $0.50 next month going to be divided between those two websites that are registered? Are they only getting their own little share of a few cents each? If so, what's happening to the BAT for the other websites?

It seems like it's distributed based on % of attention. You can also set the minimum number of visits and minimum page time for a site to start counting.
