What should we do if we are still not getting any ads? My laptop seems fine (only 2-5 ads a day) but my phone is not getting any since late Jan early Feb.
Don’t know if this is an update but on mine I stopped getting ads too. When I clicked on the rewards icon in URL bar, it kept giving me a server not responding issue. In the evening it seemed to have fixed as this error didn’t Pop up. Got a SI ad that time but now it’s back to none.
So whenever they fix the server issue, it helps temporarily in my case one can say…
no longer getting rewards on android mobile browser since at least 2 weeks, even updated the app today, still none. Also minimal to no ads on desktop browser. Maybe 3 ads about 5 days ago. Looks like the ads rewards are no longer a thing.
They are in the middle of trying to resolve issues. They looked at connections and majority of Android are still seeing ads and earning BAT. It’s just a small subset of us having problems. That said, it’s not just being dismissed. I do know @chriscat, @szilardszaloki, and a few others were investigating.
yeah i haven’t been able to get any rewards for days including the 20th of feb, today, and uphold wont connect, will we not get rewards we had accumulated though the month before this happened? i lost a lot of brave tokens cuz of this and earned them though adds to my phone and tablet.
It can be, depending on your region and the advertisers. Usually ads that pay that low are “filler” ads by Brave. I’ll ask you as I have others, did you look at the Ads Catalog that Sampson makes to show people what’s in the area? It shows you what ads are possible, what OS they are for, and how much they pay.
There’s a reason why a lot of websites will plague their site with ads. They put in banners, pop-ups, redirects, and all sorts of things. This is because each individual ad usually does not pay a lot. Therefore they try to make it count. Brave never has guaranteed how much we’ll get per ad nor has it ever been made to be a source of income for us to live off of. It’s there for us to get what extra cash we can, some of which is supposed to be used to help support Creators.
Works not. I have updated Brave on 2023.02.23.! (brave 1.48.171 Chromium 110.0.5481.177) If i turn off ads, then are ads (brave sponsored images), if i turn on, then no ads.
I have restarted phone, but nothing helps.
@bela85 I’m also having the same issue as you. Originally I was just noticing that ads weren’t appearing. I did not see that NTP ads (Sponsored Images) would appear if you turned Brave Private Ads off. So testing that when you mentioned let me see that. I sent my Rewards Logs to Chriscat and others for them to take a look. I’m hoping they can figure out what’s going on here soon.
Issue seems to have been resolved. As to mine, I don’t see ads and likely won’t be seeing them on my Android again any time soon. After a thorough investigation it was found that the reason for this is due to lack of activity.
My Android hasn’t been used and just was there for troubleshooting and all. I had switched from Android to iPhone last year and my Android just was sitting there connected to the internet, potentially seeing ads. However, Brave has the system set so as devices aren’t being actively used, they no longer see ads or earn BAT. Obviously because it’s not meant to be there to “farm” or anything. So my little spare device just is kind of out of luck on that.
