It's a little difficult because there are a lot of publications that I'd like to read a few articles from, but not enough to warrant a subscription. Micro-payments seems like an interesting solution to this, but I haven't seen it fully worked out. Right now, advertising serves this niche.
I don't really see the need to trust advertisers in Brave's scheme here, either. You need to trust the browser to judge which ads are acceptable, but alternatively you need to trust the ad blocker to know which things are ads.
