No payment for October. $0.00 over 200 ads. Polish Market.

Even though I watched over 200 ads in October, the counter still showed $0.00.

Today’s billing period was and still is $0.00.

My wallet is connected (metamask), notifications are allowed in the system, and everything is enabled.

If I don’t receive at least $1 in return, I’ll be forced to inform the Polish community that Brava ads (BAT) are a scam and ask them to disable it.

@Anonas did you never read all the help articles? The payout date is around the 8th of each month. It is only the 2nd. Do you always expect to have money before it’s supposed to be paid?

Ads viewed for each month is paid in the following. So all ads viewed while people are connected to a custodial account or self custody during October gets paid around November 8.

Payouts aren’t guaranteed exactly on the 8th. It can sometimes arrive early or if there are complications it can take extra days or weeks.

You’re about to be greatly disappointed. Ads average about 0.005 BAT per ad. This means you might get 1 BAT, that’s if all the 200 ads were paid ones. If any were House Ads, then they pay 0.

Since 1 BAT = $0.147665 you will be absolutely nowhere near $1.

From your message, it seems there’s no point in having it enabled. The profit from it is so small that it’s not even worth it. It’s a scam!

I have to tell the Polish community that it is not profitable.

Enabling would do two things:

  1. Get you BAT. Regardless of the amount, you’re getting money. This is something you wouldn’t have otherwise.

  2. You support Brave, as it helps to get money in for development purposes.

So if you want to call getting money a scam, you seem to have a big misunderstanding about life.

Scam = to trick someone into giving you money or giving you some advantage, in a dishonest and often illegal way

There’s nothing about Rewards that falls into any definition of a scam. It just comes down to whether you want to do it or not.

Keep in mind cryptocurrency prices always change. Right now 1 BAT is about $0.15 but there’s always a chance it could go higher. It’s reached up to about $1.50 per BAT before in the past. As it’s a utility token it’s not meant to reach huge amounts like BTC or SOL

Maybe I was wrong to call it a scam.

It’s simply a system where Brava profits, and user earnings are an illusion. In most threads, users see an average of 200-400 ads per month.

I hope advertisers start paying more, and Brave starts sharing the profits.

@Anonas it’s a lot to read and I don’t know if you’ll care to review all the comments/explanations I gave, but if willing you might find the topic below interesting and quite informative.
