I’m not sure I comprehend this, as there’s no benefit to unlinking and relinking. But it’s whatever.

That’s just the maximum. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll see the maximum setting. It all depends how many ads are in your region that are targeting your type of device. You can kind of understand that better if you check out Understanding Brave Ads Catalog Viewer

Yes, that matters greatly. Brave Ads are determined by both your IP address and your device Locale. Let’s just pretend you had been living in London, England and your device is set up for that. You would have been seeing ads from that area until now and been fine. Then you moved to Surat, India. You have two things to worry about now.

  1. Brave Ads will look at your device Locale to serve ads typically. However, if your Locale doesn’t match your IP address, you won’t earn BAT and your account can be flagged. SO if your device still is saying you’re in England but your IP saying you’re in India, you’re going to have issues. Definitely have to make sure that you make those changes to match where you’re at.

  2. Some countries have more ads than others. If you went from a place that had lots of ad campaigns to one that doesn’t have as many, then you’ll obviously see much fewer ads and earn less BAT than you used to in the past.

Not sure which country you were in before or anything, but I want to point this out just in case it ends up applying to you. (such as if you end up with passport and all, switch your Uphold/Gemini account to reflect your new residence in India). Currently India is not a supported region, meaning you won’t be able to link Brave to Gemini or Uphold if you try to link it for payments.

I believe as long as you’ve verified your Uphold or Gemini account with a country that is still supported, you may be able to receive your payments there. But wanted to say something so you’re not “caught by surprise” or something.
