I don't use the feature myself, but Brave Browser has something like this. You can opt in to this token system and you earn tokens as you view their non targeted ads, which can then be "spent" to give content creators whatever couple pennies (I assume) those tokens equate to.

It's more like "a free lunch every few months" than just pennies. I think I've earned like $40 over a year or two. Not going to make your rich by any means, but a decent incentive.

I guess with inflation that's more like a free lunch every year lol
