While I enjoy Brave myself, promoting it in this topic is rather misplaced. It's like asking Coca-Cola employees to drink Mountain Dew

As an employee of Steemit I strongly disagree. We are two very different protocols offering two very different value propositions. Clearly, a lot of Steemians like Brave's product offering and we shouldn't ignore that there is a way for all of us to benefit from working together. The beauty of open source is that we can all benefit by working together. Brave is trying to be a next generation browser and ad network through the integration of blockchain technology. We are trying to be the best blockchain for powering web applications. There's no reason those two projects can't work together synergistically. Who knows, if we support them, maybe they'll switch from Ethereum to Steem ;). Open Source development is not about "us v. them" it's about "us + them."
Thanks so much for your participation in this valuable conversation. While I disagree with you, I am so glad that you thoughtfully engaged on this topic. I'm not even saying I'm right, I'm just glad we're having a constructive conversation :). Thanks again!
Can you compare Brave with Vivaldi? I have tried Brave and it was ok but I still prefer Firefox. Also, Vivaldi was ok too. I probably should try to support Brave more. Yeah, we should work together as much as possible, Steem, Brave, etc, like you said.
Definitely agree with this statement. I would like to see (hinting here...) Steemit built integrations with Brave so that Steemit bloggers on the Steemit site can earn BAT. This would be awesome and boost the value of both STEEM and BAT.
You are right. :)
I see it more like "Hey you know what goes great with a Coke, a bag of Doritos!" you can have each separately, however, together they are great.
To me it seems that Steem should always show ways that their own coin can be showcased. In this case selling advertisement. Using another coin seems counter intuitive. Someone that is interested in Steem and is thinking about buying some, seeing that steemit.com utilizes BAT would give me the shivers. Hell, as someone that already purchased Steem it would still give me the shivers (and maybe more rightfully so than with the former). Then again, it might just be me
I appreciate your input - I personally see a future where all kinds of projects integrate with one another - too many people are thinking 'one is going to win' (not saying that's you here :D). As there's no real overlap between the two projects now I believe it would be a win for both if they started working together. If STEEM could be utilized for ads in the future, for example integrated in a browser, I would be thrilled :-)
