minus-squareAbidanYre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 hours agohttps://ads.brave.com/ They’re not actively replacing elements on a web page, but they’re still getting paid to show you ads and you can opt in for some crypto nonsense.
minus-squareElectricd@lemmybefree.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-27 hours agoSure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways

Not interacted doesnt mean it’s non-existant.
It exists and therefore it’s bad enough.
This is debatable. i find some that people hate on AI and crypto regardless of it’s implementation
