Pistonheads and Brave rewards
Discussion
First off, I have absolutely no affiliation with any of this. I just think the idea is great would suit a site like PH.
You may already be aware of the Brave browser:
https://brave.com/
It's built for privacy so blocks ads and trackers by default.
However, they recognise that sites still need revenue so created the Basic Attention Token which allows users to contribute to a site in two ways:
1. I have a pot of £X per month which is then divvied up between verified sites based on the amount of time I've spent on them (basically like Spotify but I can choose how much I contribute);
2. I can send tips of £Y amount
Overall I think it's a far better solution than normal advertising, and allows people with ad-blockers to to still give something to their favourite sites.
Has PH considered signing up to become verified? I think the only downside I'm aware of is its all cryptocurrency but that has its uses.
