I’ve been doing brave rewards for maybe 16 months? Not sure exactly but my currect anticipated payout is 1.6 BAT for almost 600 ads served and I interact with some of my ads. This is on track to be the lowest ever, is that consistent with other peoples’ experience? Is this dying out?

ive stopped caring once they forced us to have a shitty account instead of it all being local based that pissed me off when i couldnt get it locally anymore so i just resetted everything and just bailed on the BAT token since its no longer local
I got 21 in october, 7 in November, and now 1 for this coming month. Looks fucked to me.
Same here. I’ve also noticed some ads not being added to my balance when I see them. I was about to make a post but I’m gathering more evidence before I do.
Sometimes it can take a while to resolve the pending balance update. Having it not update the second you see the ad is normal.
I wrote up something about this back in March, if you care to check it out at https://community.brave.com/t/psa-bat-ad-prices-explained-kind-of/479458/1
TL:DR
* Ad revenue for the world decreased significantly, with some companies seeing it drop as much as 50%.
* Crypto scare from FTX, Genesis, Binance, etc has impacted world of crypto, which slowed ads and interest a bit.
* All in all though, BAT earnings haven’t changed as much as we think. I can show earnings back in 2020 where I was getting 1-6 BAT each month, which is what I’m still getting now. It just feels worse because BAT was worth up to $1+ whereas now it’s only like $0.22.
* And yes, there was a small portion of 2022 where earnings was incredibly high. Brave did awesome and we were getting up to 20-30 BAT per month. But this was short and not usual.
thats not it though. you can review all of your BAT payouts by going to brave://rewards-internals/ and when i do, they have gone from 10-15+ to… 1 and this is with prices relatively static since the price dropped.
this period was brutal for total BAT for the month.
Ahh yes. I remember the good old days when BAT was a new thing i would get 25+ bat a month in 3 different profiles connected to one uphold account, using a macro that moves my mouse automatically to prompt the ads and click on them while I’m at work. Evil_corp remembers. I also remember when they changed the amount of bat you got paid per ad and realized it was going to complete shit and just sold my uphold account and uninstalled Brave.
To my knowledge, you never needed to click on them, when they pop up, you receive the BAT. Also “they” is the advertiser who sets the price per ad for each campaign.
The way that I used to do it required me to set the macro to click on the ads otherwise intervals between each ad would get messed up and the macro would be off and yes I know it’s the advertisers who set the price.
Someone here gets it 😂
I mean people like you are exactly the reason why we can’t have nice things for longer periods of time.
And selling your Uphold account? With your KYC information on it?
Dude Ive used brave every day, on 3 devices, for like 3 years and I went from 30 bat a month to like 2 bat a month over the last 3-4 months
I havent seen an ad in like a year at least.
Based on average BAT per ad seen you’ve got a decent average. So it just means this month you’ve seen less ads.
Whether that is due to less ads in your region, less ads that match your browsing behaviour, or the ads available to you having lower view limits (or a combination of those things) is not something anyone can easily say.
