No, but they still haven't shown remorse for claiming those payments were held in escrow when in fact Brave held the payments, and planned to take them after 90

- javagram 7y agoYour link doesn’t match your text. You say they “planned” to take funds but when I followed the link, I found a TOS that allowed them to take a portion of the funds, or redistribute all of the funds back to end users without taking any, and a post from a Brave employee saying they never took any for themselves
- pushcx 7y agoI see why you read it that way, but I can't read it so charitably after they claimed payments were held in escrow when they weren't. I don't believe this program was live 90 days before the uproar, so I don't give much credit for them not taking the donations.
- kerkeslager 7y agoAh, you're right, it's okay to take my money as long as you tell me you're going to take my money beforehand in a TOS that nobody reads. Caveat emptor!
- sedatk 7y agoSo the money I thought that I had donated to a content creator goes to some random people instead and that's somehow okay?
