I initially had good fun with brave and BAT, but the continual rug-pulling and changing the rules re: account verification, exchanges you can use, regions, with getting the "earned" BAT has made me give up as a big waste of time.
Still a good security oriented browser, and I'm using it for that, just all the BAT/advertising stuff is not worth your time unless you like continually getting messed around with bureaucratic nonsense.
and yes, I'm aware some of this may be driven by regulatory stuff outside of the brave browser peoples control.
