> Also, their creator compensation program is quite terrible, which Tom Scott has documented quite thoroughly. It's all designed to feed back into Brave's cut, slowly siphoning your ad money to line their own pockets.

Creators get whatever Brave users donate to them. Perhaps creators should remind their users to donate?

Perhaps Brave shouldn't use other creator's likenesses without their express consent, and shouldn't treat their second-rate crypto as a legitimate or desirable currency to be compensated with. Why would I want to be paid in a centralized shitcoin where King Homophobe takes 30% and the revenue is generated by skipping the ads that would have otherwise just supported me directly?

Creators don't get whatever Brave users donate to them. Brave doesn't pay them, they dangle a bunch of meaningless tokens in front of their face (again, using their own likeness without consent), and tell them to make an account if they want a fraction of the revenue that they would have received otherwise.

Uhhh… Your HN profile says: “serious discussions only”

Alongside the words "thought-thinker" and "media luminary". Pardon me for expecting everyone to understand that it is, in fact, a joke.

Ah, so you're an abrasive jerk. Noted.
