Update: November 25, 2024
The next thing I want to talk about is one of the more recent changes noticed in Rewards that has gone widely unannounced. Brave is focusing only on revshare for Brave Ads (Rewards). To clarify that this means, we will earn BAT only for ads that Brave is paid to show. So let’s say we see one ad for Brave Wallet and another ad for Cloaked. We will only be paid for the Cloaked ad and WILL NOT be paid for the Brave Wallet ad.
Since launching, Brave has long been tapping into the User Growth Pool (UGP) to have things like referral programs or to pay us for viewing ads for Brave products. Until now, if we saw an ad about Brave Talk or Brave Wallet, we would get paid a little bit of BAT from Brave just to incentivize us. However, this will no longer be the case. We will only get paid IF Brave is also earning something.
You can see this spoken about a bit officially at First to know: Some upcoming changes in Rewards 3.0
Other things changing soon:
- No more estimated earnings: They said something new will take its place. No idea what, except they said “more dynamic ways to earn rewards.”
- Auto Contribute is going away: This is something many have asked. They will still have options to subscribe to Creators to pay monthly and all, but haven’t said much on it.
