Ive found that SOMEtimes restarting the browser or rebooting the PC jumpstarts the ads, but its not 100% consistent.

All I know is that these dudes (thephluidproject.com) some gay shit have put an ass load of money into brave as I have only been getting their ads for the past twoish days.

Same here. I'll gladly take their gay shekels tho. I'll even help promote them for extra shekels.
But yeah, the ads are really uneven. I assume they try to distribute them evenly among the users, and unfortunately, they seem to only have a few companies right now.
That being said, maybe we should start experimenting with our computer locales? After all, ads are limited to a few select countries. Right now I went with the US, but we should probably try out one of the other countries and see if they have more ads. Having a french or german Locale would suck a bit tho.

Lol yeah they've got both "Phluid" and "Fluid" shit. I've got a browser running that has zero search/use history, and it cycles between 5 or 6 ads, Fluid and Phluid being two. I do get other ads on other browsers that get actual use... mostly different crypto stuff.
I get identical ads on different machines that are VPNed to US and Canada, though admittedly not a huge cultural gap there.

VPN doesn't matter, it's completely based on your PC Locale. I have a Swedish VPN IP right now and getting ads. My locale, however, is set on the USA.
But with a change of locale, the ads should change a bit as well. Would be interesting if we had any Canadicks or Germs here to relay how their ad situation is.
Oh and to be clear, only like 3 or 4 countries apparently have ads. Sweden doesn't, for example.

I use Brave and have my settings so I can only tip - meaning, no BAT is held by the browser awaiting 'verification' (90 days) for other sites that don't use it. This way, all my BATs are accumulated in my wallet and I can tip out to Kiwi only (which is why I switched to Brave in the first place).

Apparently you can now (maybe) BAT tip tweets.
I say "maybe" because out of about 10 copies of Brave running across all my machines (installed both regular and dev for double the ads), the tip option appears on maybe half of them. I've even got a machine where it shows up on the dev version but not the regular version (it does show on the regular version on another machine, though).
ETA: looks like it's appearing on new version 0.67.73. WTF some of my browsers that are still on older versions say they're "up to date," or just don't show update buttons.

You're using the dev version I assume? I'm still on 0.65.120 and no tipping available, but I don't use the Dev Build either so I guess that might be it.

I use both. It looks like it's on the latest version of both, but it doesn't look like the updates are consistently pushing to the browser's. If you go to the "about" section in Brave, it MAY have a button to update.

Hmm, so this is odd. All of a sudden I can't get any ads, as it claims none are available. My locale is still set on USA and so is my IP. I tried switching both to Canada, same thing. Also, all of my so far earned BAT is now at 0.00.
Did anyone face similar issues in the past? Not entirely sure whatever Brave is actually going after those of us that fake our locations, I kinda doubt it.
Oh hey Krimjob, It's me, the friendly Krimjob from the future with an edited post with the answer. Seems like there is some kind of bug that all of a sudden just shuts people out from Brave Rewards. No known fix yet and it happens randomly to people.

So I remember @Null saying not to tip because he was told that none of the tips would go to him after the Brave team banned him (that warning came just a little too late for me). Did anyone receive their BAT back or is Eich both a coward and a thief (did they screw up and send the tips to Null in the last payout, anyway)?

Naw, you can't tip him on Kiwi farms, you can tip him elsewhere. PM him for the site you can tip him. I got my Brave and sent him some.

well, you just gave the detractors the name of the site to yell at Brave about now. You miscreant!

Yes, I'm sure it's such a big secret after null announced it on stream to thousands of people. If it was supposed to be such a deep dark secret the mods would've removed the post, and null would have deleted the stream without archiving.

This whole concept was a horrible idea anyway. Fuck attention-capture. Null should have avoided Brave in the first place, I had no idea this predatory crap was even theirs in the first place until recently. Why would you cooperate with these parasites?
