What Happened with the Web Monetization API?
Agreed. Brave actually implemented this exact thing[1], and then got dumped together with other crypto scam projects, which continues to happen in this very thread.
Crypto haters are quick to shout that cryptocurrencies have no practical use, and introduce many problems, but this is a perfect use case for them. The negative discussion has detracted from some truly disrupting technologies being adopted, which is a damn shame.
Brave Inc. has made some missteps, sure, but I don't think they're overall an evil or scam company. A solution like BAT can eventually move us away from the current ad-infested web where advertising leeches serve as sleazy middlemen between users and companies, and scams and fake content flood the web in order to trick SEO and get easy ad revenue. The modern web is a minefield corrupted by advertising.
If browsers integrated with a decentralized wallet, that can either be filled by watching privacy-preserving ads OR by manually adding credit to them, had Humble Bundle-like sliders for users to control how much of their credit is allocated for each site, and the web had standardized APIs for websites to set their minimum price, then it would solve the monetization issue once and for all. The basic customer-business relationship would be preserved, where customers actually pay for the services they use, instead of the corrupt business models of today where web users are not even the customers, but a piece of rock gold can be mined from, and its value milked in perpetuity.
I think the single largest reason this hasn't happened yet is because it would negatively impact the profits of adtech giants who are running the web, and have a strong sway in directing its future. If any solution has a chance in getting mass adoption it needs to happen outside of the web, and be built from the ground up by avoiding the mistakes we now know have lead us to where we currently are.

1Sub.dev – A world where people pay for software
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions"
And more recently Brave, the browser tried to implement it.
"Crypto and DeFi are hard to use and the $330 billion digital advertising industry is failing users, publishers and advertisers. With Basic Attention Token and Brave we want to take Crypto to the next 1B users and solve the endemic inefficiencies and privacy violations hobbling the digital ad industry."[^2]
I personally think this is a beautiful idea, had it worked out as envisioned, the Internet could've been a very different and likely better place now. Pity cryptocurrencies came to be what they're in their present condition.

Haven't been receiving my Brave rewards the last two months. Support not responding to my emails.
Not just ads that make it past the filters, but ones that Brave the company sends to you. See and https://basicattentiontoken.org/.

Best browser and why?
Brave's Basic Attention Tokens, or BAT, are bridged across Ethereum and Solana per BAT's website; Ethereum previously used a proof-of-work model which had an awful environmental impact, but has since moved to a more efficient proof-of-stake model in September 2022, which the Ethereum Foundation claimed at the time would reduce energy use by 99.95%, though I can't find anything on the actual results. Solana as far as I can tell has only ever used proof-of-stake

Do you guys have Incognito mode??
As far as I know, it’s alright. Firefox (and some forks of it) are considered better with the right tweaks. Un-googled chromium and Brave are generally considered your best bets for a chromium-based browser (some sites unfortunately rely on chromium, though your mileage may vary). I think Brave is considered to be a bit more secure than un-googled chromium (don’t quote me on that)— but the trade off is that Brave has its own advertising platform with crypto (BAT Tokens) which you can opt out of, but is there nonetheless.

So what now ?
In the meantime, BAT can be used to tip your favorite sites/content creators online — more information on what you can do with BAT here: https://basicattentiontoken.org

The Age of Social Media Is Ending
As for content.. if you look at VRChat, you'll see that a lot of good content is created by the user base. Money could also be raised by buyers trying to profit off the coin. Many profit models to explore. For example Brave browser found a good way of integrating crypto with their BAT token.

Last two months of BAT rewards have been great, what is accumulated can end up being worth a lot during bull runs!
There, I said it. Its only use case is tipping. They are pretty much a glorified version of moons, and not much better. Only about 10 million people regularly use Brave browser and there are about 1 million verified content creators accepting BAT (that's according to Brave themselves, so the actual numbers might be lower). That's... not a lot. There's about 150,000 moon vaults. I mean sure, that's less than a million. But as I'm writing this, moons have a market cap of 6.3 millions - and BAT has one of over 1.2 billions. That's impressively overvalued.

Cryptocurrencies II: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
The real services, and counter to his points are Ethereum/DAI, aave.com, and gmx.io. All legitimate (non-confidence) services that I have used for years without issue. All services rely on smart contracts as counter parties so you don't need to worry about some dude running off with your money (that is tradfi problems that crypto is fixing)

Can DeFi replace banks without a legal framework?
I love defi and what it stands for. I love the fact that I can lend my capital through a fully decentralized protocol like AAVE or Compound and earn money on it.

Greetings and Salutations
Strength in numbers. The collectivised savings deposits of bond holders earn interest on Aave. Aave is the leading non-custodial liquidity provider in decentralised finance (DeFi). Once a week interest accrued by the collective is distributed to Prize Bond holders by lottery with additional draws held at the end of each quarter. Prize draws are provably fair through the integration of Chainlink VRF.
- What is a good response to "cryptocurrency is just a scam"?

Getting to know Aave digital currency
Digital currency (Aave), is a cryptocurrency that strives to provide comprehensive services to its users by creating a transparent and open-source infrastructure with the aim of lending and borrowing from tokens. (Aave) is a decentralized financial protocol. May the system function in such a way that the lenders deposit their assets and digital funds in the liquidity network (Aave) and thus make a profit for themselves. On the other hand, borrowers of the network (Aave) also receive loans from this system and network and put their cryptocurrency as collateral.

DEFI Earn How does it work?How do some offer outrageous interest rates?
The Real Yield DeFi can divide into two types: 1. Fee - such as Borrowing Fee, Trading Fee, Transaction Fee or Insurance Fee (COMP, AAVE, FORW, GMX, ETH) 2. Reinvestment - such as reinvestment in the Real Yield from 1. or reinvestment in the physical products in the real world. (GFI)

Coinbase Wallet questions when coin appear out of nowhere, possible scam?
A good way to be wary of tokens that you receive in airdrops, is that when there is a URL in the name of the token, it is most likely a scam. This token has a website name, that is not the official AAVE website. The official AAVE website is here: https://aave.com/
