In 2014, Reddit had a go at introducing Bitcoin micropayments, as well as other crypto features into the system. However, that was discontinued three years later. Vimeo introduced the Tip Jar in 2012, through which donations could be made. Reddit and Vimeo are heavy-weight targets for Brave, as both platforms have previously failed to introduce tipping. Of the 240,722 registered publishers, over 70% are located on Youtube, and the remainder is on private websites such as Twitter, Twitch and Github. This represents 1.5% of Brave’s publishers. Therefore, Vimeo and Reddit users have already been receiving rewards for a couple of months.Īccording to BATGrowth, 550 Vimeo and 3,516 Reddit users have signed up for rewards. Now, the feature has been released on the main browser and the option is available on both social media platforms. The company explained that users could start verifying their accounts to begin receiving tips on the beta version. The option became available as part of the browser’s developer preview. Tipping creators on Reddit and Vimeo was already possible through the Brave Browser at the end of June. Our desktop browser update today (0.68.131) features tipping creators on Vimeo and Reddit with BAT! Also adds the ability to select a default search engine during onboarding, and fixes various PDF issues. The latest addition is that now users can tip BAT tokens to creators on Reddit and Vimeo. As reported last month, Brave launched online tipping services to Twitter users. Brave has been bringing new developments to its users almost every month.

The crypto-powered browser has been making the headlines throughout this entire summer.
