BAT and Brave browser continue hurling forward on heir roadmap and already have a get-payed-per-ad-view system out on their developer channel. Since this is a rare synergy of two good products cooperating for a greater goal than just arbitrary usage of blockchain, I believe they may indeed have a solid chance of revolutionizing digital publishing industry.
Main challenge, once BAT airdrops stop, remains getting people to obtain BAT trough direct buy or earn it online via viewing ads. For the latter we need more advertisers on board. Good news are, that Brave and partners are trying to take care of that by running a webinar on 3rd of April at 1PM EST. So whether you'd like to take a closer look at how advertising on Brave platform works or if you are an advertiser yourself looking for new channels register @ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-future-of-blockchain-for-advertisers-webinar-series-tickets-58027639231
