Some days i’ll get 20-40 ads in a single day and other times I can go 3-4 days without any ads at all… I have Brave on 4 different computers and 2 different mobile apps on my phone… I’m on my internet connected devices 18 hours a day… I can view activity in real time and haven’t seen an ad in about 20 hours. A steady stream of ads would enable me to send donations and earn a small amount each month… If this system actually worked continually and dependably, it would be GREAT. right now It’s just frustrating. ☹ I don’t see what i could be doing to effect ad distribution so what’s up??? Thanks in advance! A proud owner/investor in $BAT and regular user of the Brave browser. ---

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 wor… ---
