If Brave's content model was only open to profit-based advertisers I'd call b.s. But it isn't. It is for anyone. And, BAT is considered a utility token first as despite using ETH it is first a means to support anyone's content. The caveat is to gain BAT users have to use Brave.

As a person who crowdfunded for life-extension therapies for a rare and deadly bone marrow condition that has kept me living longer and better but cost me my retirement, home, and debt (treatment with insurance cost us half a million dollars. I prefer to give and taking was hard.

To me, creating content and offering it freely, by donation, or via a content model like brave offers opens opportunity for anyone with some skills and motivation to contribute despite significant limitations on ability to work remotely and as energy and health allow. Love that.

Since my spleen is now compromised (diseases that are progressive are a cascade) I cannot fly again. Ever. Unless private jet, doctor, nurse and a full isolation suite, blood and bone marrow products, and oxygen. Trains, ships and autos are great. Altitude is no longer my friend.

Hey Molly! Agree, BAT and Brave are symbiotic.

Absolutely. And that is to me not an ideal, but it's not a situation where anyone if forced into participation via browser tricks. People don't want to participate in the content model, they don't have to. Otherwise, I'd be a little more snarky. Hey, want an apple? I have two ;-)
