Brave has a history of acting shady.

For a while they would take BAT "donations" for any website, and would just keep them unless the site owner signed up to receive them. This stopped a few months ago.

The whole monetization model of replacing a site's ads with their own is questionable.

The whole BAT thing seems like a scam, they offer ways to buy them but no way to sell them.

Really anything that uses a cryptocurrency for funding has that "con stink".

"The whole monetization model of replacing a site's ads with their own is questionable."

Just to be more concise, they are not exactly "replacing" ads on the site. The built-in adblocker remove all ads irrelevant of the sites and if you enable Brave Ads (the coin thing, opt in), you get up to 5 per hour (configurable) OS native notification. The notification contains a text ad with a link. Even if you don't click on the notification, you get the coin.

We are not replacing ads on any site right now, and we won't do it without the publisher as partner, getting 70% of the gross revenue.

You can sell BAT via any crypto exchange or website. Coinbase, Uphold, Binance, etc. You can even choose to have BAT automatically convert to USD, Euro, etc.
