As most of you probably know, Brave is a browser that rewards you with a token called BAT every time you see a sponsored ad.
It's a really good browser based on Chromium with many privacy features and the built-in adblock is a godsend on mobile.
I've been using it as my main browser both on desktop and mobile for quite a while and to be honest I would use it even if there were no BAT rewards.
Earning BAT won't make you rich, but if you can earn a few extra bucks per month without doing anything, why not?
Anyway, I found 2 methods to see more ads and therefore earn more BAT. Remember, you don't have to click on the ads in order to earn.
First one is really simple. Just go to the Brave rewards settings and set the ads cap to 10 per hour. Until last month, the maximum was 5, but they changed it.
Second one only works on Android. I don't know if it works on every phone, but it does in mine (Pixel 3a). It doesn't work on iOS as Apple forbids token rewards.
With your phone on charge, open Brave, go to a web page with a video on it, start the video and then pause it. The screen will go black after a minute or so because the video is paused.
For some reason, even though the screen is black, you'll keep getting rewards notifications as if you were actively browsing. It's probably an exploit.
So, if you're not using your phone, just let it charge with a paused video and the screen turned off, and you'll keep earning BAT.
Again, these methods will not make you rich. You can maybe earn $10 per month or so, but I see posts like "how can I earn $1 per month?" all the time, so BAT rewards may be helpful.
Plus, I'm bullish on BAT. It's a very interesting concept and it's up 23% in the last 24 hours. More and more people are starting to use Brave and it can only grow from there.
