It is still in beta and will feature several improvements in the coming months as the program is refined and integrates the valuable community input we receive.

Brave Rewards currently has a community of over 23,000 publishers, YouTube creators, and Twitch streamers. I also do think it’s funny that they say they are so much better than crypto mining systems.Brave Rewards is a new way to fund content on the internet and to reconnect creators with their audiences. You’re a business, you need to make sure your business is profitable and not pin all the risk on me. If it’s supposed to just be a discount for me, then just charge me the discounted price. If it’s supposed to make me money, then just take the costs as a cut of the revenue. Either someone pays me for a service or I pay them for a service. So you get paid for bandwidth but also need to pay for bandwidth, all tracked through Arc, and you just have to hope that at the end of the month, what you pay and what you get paid turns out positive to you. But as a website owner, once you exceed the free quota, you also need to pay for the bandwidth used by your visitors to download assets. Then, people’s browsers will start redistributing content, for which you will get paid. So if you use Arc’s platform, you put their code on your site which plugs all your visitors into their peer-to-peer CDN. And based on that information, the entire thing reeks of a ponzi scheme to me. I checked Arc.io’s website and FAQ primarily to figure out how exactly their monetization works.
