Hah, true enough! Well.

Like with any cryptocurrency project; most of the users are in it for the money. They've invested early and are hoping Brave becomes mainstream so they can cash out as millionaires. They have a Daily BAT Discussion where they discuss how the value of their currency has changed in the last 24 hours, and they are completely stoked to have made the equivalent of $0.02 from clicking an advertisement.

And then there's the whole cult of personality thing they have going for their CEO.

You didn't say that the "daily BAT discussion" was called a "smoking sauna."

    Noob question, how do I find ads in Brave?

LOL

No no, they come up with a new creative name every day, to describe in metaphors the latest development of BAT's value, I assume. It's honestly rather impressive. Unless it's just mad libs, hard to say for sure.

...well they're certainly interested.
