I turned on the special, approved Brave ads thing last time I used it because I wanted to support Brave; and they only showed up as little pop ups on the systray and were infinitely more annoying to me than a static banner ad.

You click on them to open new tab pages if interested, can thumbs down and lower frequency in ads settings. You also get 70% of the sponsored images shown in 1 of 4 new tab pages. Static banner isn’t going to perform as well, so I hope you will give ads a try again. You could even turn off notifications but keep the sponsored images.

Speaking of sponsored images: If I've chosen to see them, but don't have Rewards enabled, do you still get ad revenue?

Yes, we need to keep the lights on and we won’t just give the sponsors free lunches. Here is a comment on Reddit (sorry) I wrote about it. TANSTAAFL!
