Correct. Just having the notification be shown is enough to have “viewed” it. Again, this means making sure you aren’t blocking the notification or ad from appearing on your device. You can change notification settings where the notification appears in your Notification Center but does NOT appear in a notification bubble. I did this because I got annoyed with the notifications popping up and distracting me.
For example, my notification settings for Brave on my Windows 11 Pro is as follows:
What this does is allow the ad notifications to show, but it doesn’t annoy me with sounds and I don’t have to see the floating notification banner which can be a distraction when I’m doing things. What will happen is I’ll see a number appear on the bottom right of Windows. I can click on that to see what the notifications/ads had been. Or, if I want, I can just completely ignore it and never interact. Either way, the notification would be served and I earn BAT. That said, I do suggest checking which ads are delivered as you get occasional surveys and you never do know if you’ll have an ad there you may like.
Wrong. You never get paid or rewarded for clicking on an ad. Brave asks that you only click on ads you are interested in. This is because Brave will have a report to advertisers which show how many users saw ads and how many clicked. Ideally those who clicked are only those who were truly interested and wanted to learn more. They don’t want people clicking because of earning, therefore they offer no payment or incentive for clicking on ads.
