FAQ: Why am I not seeing Brave Ads?

A Note about Brave Ads Before we jump into troubleshooting issues, it seems that there may be a slight misconception about the goals and the way in which the Brave Ads feature is designed. This misconception generally takes the form of: "When I opt in to Brave Ads, my browser will show me ads whenever I use it." This is not entirely true. In reality, this statement should be: "When I opt in to Brave Ads, my browser will try to show me ads which are relevant to me." The difference in wo…

Hi,

I’ve noticed that I see more ads on my ios version of brave than i do on my desktop mac. I have both set a 5 ads per hour, but i would say i get roughly 1 ad every 2-3 hours on my desktop. I’m not sure what triggers ads to appear but I use my desktop drastically more than my mobile device. i can without a doubt say that I get more ads per hour on my mobile. February payout (received yesterday) i only got 33 BAT on my desktop and 26.7 BAT on my iPhone version.

If there is any way I could find and post statistics on my usage time for Desktop and Mobile Brave app, please let me know.

After checking my “Screen Time” within the settings app on my iPhone, i average roughly 1hr 10min per day on Brave, and spent a total of 8hrs and 14min using the app this past week (7 days). I could without a doubt say that I spend roughly 6-8 hours per day using Brave on my desktop.

@ztickman,
You linked the the appropriate FAQ page, but I think you may want to re-read one of the paragraphs there:

@FAQ: Why am I not seeing Brave Ads? Brave-Ads Support

The difference in wording may seem small, but there is a substantial difference conceptually. The goal is to show you privacy respecting ads that are relevant to the user in the right context (a “match” is found) – not to make sure that all users “see some ads” . Enabling Ads does not guarantee that you’re going to see ads – if the system does not find a match for you in the ads catalog, then you will not see any (more information on this below).

Further, you may see ads appearing regularly today, but tomorrow you may not see any – and that’s perfectly fine . In this situation, it really is a feature , not a bug . We appreciate everyone’s understanding of this distinction and implore you to keep this in mind before assuming that the feature simply “isn’t working”.
