I have it set up on Tildes (https://tildes.net) so that I can receive BAT from Brave users, but haven't really put any particular emphasis on it.

So far the site's account has a balance of 258 BAT, which should be worth about $50 USD right now. The "Brave Creators" interface is so bare-bones that I can't figure out what kind of rate that's come in at though. It says that 60.50 of it is from the "Current Period", but I don't know what that means.

Trying to set up the process to actually be able to withdraw the BAT has been annoying and has gotten hung up at multiple points with no indication of how long it'll take until it moves forward. At this point I don't even really think of it as money that I have, because I have no idea how many more steps I need to go through to be able to convert it to actual money, what that process will involve, or how many more fees will be taken on the way.

Did you set up an Uphold account and link your Brave wallet to it? That should pretty much be the end of it; should be straightforward from there to send/exchange the BAT elsewhere.

As your browser receives BAT on the 5th of every month, I think that's also when your Creator account receive tips, but I haven't confirmed that. The UI really is bare-bones and my site doesn't receive enough traffic to speculate further.

Yeah, setting up the Uphold wallet was the main annoying part. For example, I tried to set it up on my PC but couldn't, because it required me to "take a selfie" and my PC doesn't have a camera.

It should all be set up now, and the Brave Creators site says that my payout is in the "Reviewing" stage, so we'll see how it goes from this point.
