Brave does have a feature that displays ads in exchange for BAT, so it's not a cheap shot. https://brave.com/brave-rewards/

It is a cheap shot because you have to explicitly go out of your way to enable it.

There’s no conceivable way a Brave user sees ads without very explicitly digging through the settings and enabling them.

Which leads me to wonder, have you yourself ever used Brave?

I use Brave. I have the rewards enabled.

When you open a new tab, does it not show an ad for you as the wallpaper of the new tab? I thought that space would show an ad regardless of rewards are on or off.

The ads that I get that I know are because of rewards is the desktop notifications that it pushes, that you can click on. Only ever clicked on a couple of them at most I think, but still have them enabled because I think the idea of Brave rewards and BAT is interesting.

Also, I no longer remember but, when you install Brave it does ask whether you want to enable Brave rewards or not, didn’t it? In which case I think at least some people might be clicking yes without meaning to/understanding. But in my case it was intentional anyways.

I use Brave. I don't use Rewards. When I open a new tab I see a wallpaper, a randomly chosen picture, often a landscape scene, never an ad.
