Auto Contribute enabled by default

[UjCbFwtBayFM]

Description

Brave Rewards auto-contribute is enabled by default. The Rewards onboarding assistant only asks the user for the amount per month, no option to not enable it. This would prevent people from discovering some of their BAT was lost due to AC being on.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Brave
2. Enable Rewards

Actual result:

Onboarding assistant asks for how many ads max per hour you want to see, and how much BAT you want to allocate for monthly auto-tipping.

Expected result:

Brave should explicitly asks users if they want to enable auto-contribute. It also only gives a 1-5 ads per hour despite 10 ads/hour being available.
It should also clearly mention that, regardless to how many ads you've set, the actual number of ads you will see will likely vary.

Reproduces how often:

Every single time.

This was an intentional product decision, and should essentially be resolved with #15308.

No, it is not related. Feels like you didn't even read my post. Users should have the option to disable it when they first set up Brave.
My proposed changed would give the ability to users to disable auto contributions when they set up Brave, yours would ask users to confirm they want to auto-contribute right before they are processed.
Mine is a better solution.
