> They can just as easily block ads and not replace that revenue with anything, which is actually the default behavior.

This is important. I’m already blocking ads. Brave at least let’s me give something back.

There is no world where I don’t run the strictest ad blocker available.

Just curious, what is your opinion on Ethical Ads (no tracking, cookies, selling data)?

I’m fine with them. My issue with ads is the data/cpu use and the malware. I ignored ads for 15 years or so before getting my first ad blocker.

I’m not against ads that aren’t intrusive and don’t mine my data and try to target me.

I’m not against targeted ads because I think the ads are bad. I’m against the data necessary to target ads because it can be misused (law enforcement, politics, mental health, etc).
