Really? That sucks. If this is true, a mod should change the URL post haste.
Good article. Well done.

The account which posted this link to HN seems to have a posting history that includes at least one other Medium article by a one-time 'author' plagiarized from Hackernoon.

#24Does anyone know how much do BAT publishers get paid, compared to regular ads?
How much of that money comes from VCs (in form of "BAT monthly giveaway") vs from the actual advertisers?

#25I like the concept of Brave browser, but the severe lack of extensions make it a nonstarter. Loading Chrome extensions into Brave looks complex to the extent where I'd rather just load up Chrome or Firefox.
Brave is now based on Chromium. You can install extensions from the Chrome web store just as you would in Chrome.
To me, Brave is just Chrome without all the Google stuff and a built-in ad-blocker. It's fantastic.

Please take a look at o_wilson's posting history, as I have found another link to a plagiarized article on Medium, and the situation doesn't pass the smell test.

Shouldn't you avoid adding that link to Medium to not give them free ranking?

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
In what way is that different than the current state of affairs?
Not at all. This is portrayed as a way of fixing the incentive structure of the web by making people pay for content, but it only fixes part of the problem. Time tracking is not the same as users making an active choice about what contributes value to their lives (e.g., choosing to pay for a subscription). I would hate to see this compensation mechanism become widespread.
I'm not a fan of time tracking, but I like current subscription models like Patreon or Youtube's even less.
There's about 30 content creators I'd like to support, but in no way I'd pay $5 each, which is the standard contribution proposed by e.g. Youtube. In fact, I'm not supporting anybody at the moment, except seldomly donating money with Paypal.
I budget my salary every month, and I'd like to give, say $50 a month to the creators I follow. Perhaps in different percentages. Next month I'm more generous, here's $200, please divide it accordingly.
It's easy for us with a decent salary, but many, if not most people I know have $10 to spare. It's about 2 Youtube subscriptions. What to support more people? Get a better job or turn off your ad blocker and give your data and privacy away.
Time tracking might not be optimal, but the killer feature to me is "this is what I have, split it and donate it, even if it's just a few pennies."

#29I really hope this type of payment system become a standard and adopted by other browsers. It's really close to what Ted Nelson tried to do.
