That's actually the reason I'm principally against using brave: they were accepting token payment on behalf of unsuspecting content creators without their consent.

Fair enough, I am not advocating for that project, but it is close in spirit to what was described in the parent comment. Aside from that, I personally do not see the issue with being able to opt into automatic crypto payments for browsing time, vs seeing nothing at all from the same. The default behaviour for unverified creators is that it goes into some internal pool for marketing, which is a bit sketchy though yeah.
