This has it's faults but if the younger generations start using the brave browser and get introduced to this token + twitch streamers and content creators having incentive to earn through this token. If brave browser hits at least 2% of the browser user market, wouldn't this be a comfy hold?
Will this token be mass adopted?

its just a funding token, other than bagholders people wont want to receive it over bitcoin, or fiat.

this is a shitcoin think about it.
If you have to convince yourself why you would want it or use logic to reason why people will want this then its not going to happen
For coins like this you have to have an emotional connection to succeed where you really want this coin and you are willing to go to lengths to obtain them other than for just selling to some other bagholder.
By you questioning whether or not this coin is a good hold you already know the answer is no but are trying to find a reason to say yes which is a very good reason to step down as I can say from personal experience I've lost a lot of money like this trying too hard to believe in a coin reasoning why its a comfy hold. Don't make those same mistakes user.

Lol. most people just use the browser that comes with their computer, or they use Chrome which has good word of mouth. People aren't going to mass download fucking Brave or other obscure things.

If there can be a civil discussion on both sides for once, it would be interesting to try to answer this. Personally, I don't dislike the concept of BAT, but the main issues I'm seeing is that:
1. afaik BAT pretty much requires user to use a special browser (Brave)
2. the token fluctuates in value, making it difficult to know exactly how much you're tipping
3. you pretty much need to buy the tokens in bulk in advance and hold them until you decide to give them, while their value fluctuates heavily which for the vast majority of people is more of a negative than a positive
It also seems like BAT wouldn't be able to compete if a company like Google, Amazon or Facebook launched something along the same lines, which they would be a lot better placed to do since they already own a lot of big media platforms (and if BAT ever picks up any steam, it seems like they could easily just make a similar project on their own).
For those who hold BAT, what are the main advantages that you see, and why do you think that this will be adopted over other similar or potential projects? Advertising is a big market, but to me BAT seems a bit like throwing gravel at a target when there are many giants who could just pick up a boulder and ram it through if they ever see the little guy starting to have a bit of success.

It wont work if it goes over $1. So the short answer is: no.

I use Brave and I was airdropped 15 BAT last month. I'm not allowed to withdraw it or use it outside of their rewards program, though. I set it up to distribute to some people/sites I wouldn't mind it going to, and it was done. It's a very normie-friendly experience because everything just kind of happens in the background without any knowledge of blockchains or crypto tech necessary

This is where you're wrong because BAT is one of the few coins with an emotional appeal to success. Millions of YouTube-watching normies have heard about the Adpocalypse and know that their favorite e-celebs are suffering. Certain content creators have been shilling this as a way to reduce dependency on YouTube ad revenue. We're talking millions of people who already donate to their favorite streamers' Patreons, now they can use the tokens they earn from watching ads to support their favorite creators in lieu of muh adpocalypse and tell YouTube to fuck off, it's brilliant

Very valuable information there. While i agree on on 2 of your points you made in 2. and 3.. Bat can actually be integrated into more than just the Brave browser and may gain some traction this year. Sadly though you might be correct that other major companies like Google and Facebook may just improve on BAT and make their own. Although you never know with these things, companies will be born from crypto, it's just knowing which will succeed where others fail.

You touch on a very valid point about Youtube and ad revenue. It's the main reason this coin has been on my radar because we all know E celebs and twitch streamers will shill this token to normies.
