"It then displays it in the Brave Payments list, enabling the user to donate back on a monthly" ... So this will block ads on Youtube, and the creators will be compensated on donations? Does someone have a case-study on content/Youtube creators potentially making a living of donations? This seems like a bad business model: make creative videos and expect people to donate so you can feed yourself.

Jordan Peterson was making $60,000/mo (before he hid the donation totals) on Patreon [0]. Obviously it's a steep curve at the top but the big youtubers make good money with that model.
