Every startup changes priorities as they get more information and opportunities. That’s basically my career.

But then we all get to read little bitches on Glassdoor complain that a startup abandoned some project to do something else. Well, duh. Chasing revenue and better opportunities.

Brave search took off and they can deliver way more ads. Self serve was going to require a lot of hand holding and isn’t scalable yet. It’s logical but you dumb faggots are talking about “promises.”

>Brave search took off and they can deliver way more ads.
I highly doubt there’s a significant amount of non Brave browser users that are only using Brave search. And why would they? The results aren’t any better than Google or DDG. If anything they’re worse. I’m so annoyed with the constant flip flopping. And if their primary focus is now search, they might as well scrap the wallet, dex, vpn etc. because search users won’t be using any of it.

Just to put this into context for you, if brave were to launch search ads today theres a strong possibility that the revenue earned in one year would be higher than all previous years combined. The search engine is barely a year old product.

The search engine grew by over 17% last month during a slow month. If they can do an average of 12% a month for the next year they will be half the size of DDG with a complimentary browser. I wont be surprised to see major brave search ads in the coming months. People aren't even getting paid to use the search engine yet kek. Go for the low hanging fruit.

[Anonymous No.51303085]

the hardest thing for me to hear was that Brave was actually, unironically considering ditching BAT for a new crypto. Can you imagine what a fucking slap in the face that would be? Sounds like it was a legitimate consideration too, so it's probably not even entirely off the table yet

Not sure you know its system works. There are no validators, no nodes. There is no multisig or admin key. There's nobody who can affect it on their own. I guess that's the point of being absolutely and completely decentralised. The only option for audit is exclusive to the user i.e. only user can have access to a ViewKey that can be used to generate a verifiable history of txns if there is a need for proof of legitimacy if the need for it arises.
