Ok,
I’ve been using rewards for 2 days, but I saw several ads appearing on my PC, yet none of them showed up…
It keeps showing that I saw 0 ads, even though my history shows several…
I wanted to know if I did something wrong or if the system is just having problems.
According to Brave Search (Answer with AI):
The rewards counter fails to increase because not all displayed ads generate BAT earnings . Specifically, the counter only increments for paid ads that Brave has been paid to display; ads promoting Brave’s own products are classified as “house ads” and pay 0 BAT , thus not increasing the counter or rewards.
- House Ads : Promotional content for Brave itself, which do not contribute to the ad count or BAT balance.
- View Limits : If a user has reached the maximum number of paid ads available for their specific OS and region , they will predominantly see these non-paying house ads.
- Recent Changes : The system was updated to only count paid ads in the counter, whereas previously it may have counted all displayed ads regardless of payment status.
