Because we weren’t supposed to get paid for those ads to begin with. We’ve been lucky these past few years because Brave had set aside a special budget to give users bonuses.
From the very start, Brave Rewards has been clear: users receive 70%, and Brave keeps 30% of what advertisers pay for ads. That’s the core promise, and it’s what we agreed to when we opted into the program.
We just have to be thankful for the extra bonuses we received while they lasted.
