I am big on BAT coin these days.
They have a browser called Brave that blocks ads and trackers and you can opt in to viewing their ads and they award you with BAT coins for your attention. You are not going to get rich viewing their ads
I made 4 BAT in a few days. There is a limit to how many ads they can show you per hour of surfing, like you can't just sit there looking at ads all night. I think it measures how much you scroll and stay on a page, not sure how that works, the idea is you get paid based on the level of your attention though. People should pay more attention to ads they got paid to see. Also the more you browse the internet the more tailored to you the ads will be.
I like that there is market for buying these coins from the advertisers, any coin you can make for free you need a market of people who will pay for them or the value is zero. I bought a few to speculate on the price.
The Snax coin that Steem is pairing with awards you with crypto for popularity on other social media sites, well Brave also is designed so people who view your social media (Youtube,Twitter, Instagram,Twitch etc) while using Brave will make you, the content creator, BAT coins. This browser has over 5 Million users, you can make some money here. It's really promoting itself as a tipping coin, and tipping is huge.
Caveat: as of right now you cannot withdraw the coins in your browser wallet, only tip others with them. The plan is to allow you to access these coins in the future after KYC. The whole people with 10 thousand bot accounts on Steemit has made me come to accept KYC is going to be a requiement for these things to work, and not get gamed.
Price is almost the same as Steem today
Thanks for the quick overview, I might have to check this out!

I'm pretty big on Brave and BAT too. I've been using the browser as my main one for the past year and it's been pretty good for me. Only one bug that really matters to me, but it looks like their working on it since the last I checked their Github.
I'm not sure entirely about BAT as a huge crypto market, but I love that I can support the websites I use more directly with less ads. Just wish more would enable it though.
