Does anyone really believe that they spent months and months coding how to get rid of linking limits? How difficult is it to change an integer from “4” to unlimited?
Of course not. They have spent this time coding how to either 1) Flag more profiles 2) Implement increasing captchas 3) Have the eventual earned BAT amount roll over to next month (in perpetuity) and 4) Deliver ads at a far slower pace.
It was never about lifting a linking limit, it was always about how to limit one’s ability to earn BAT to almost zero, while Brave still maintain the ad income themselves.
