I don't totally understand what his problem is. He doesn't want to take money that people are trying to give him? What is the problem here exactly? If he doesn't want it, why not just donate it or something?

It's not like the browser is setting up a crowd funding page for you.. it just lets you know you can pay your favorite content creators how you want instead of a huge unfair chunk going to google.

And for the record, and of you are free to send me money in any which way you can, I even accept trained pigeon courier!

Isn't it pretty much like this? How many people would use some other way of giving a creator money if they knew that the creator isn't actually signed up for Brave's thing and they're creating additional work for them, or that the money might even be distributed to others at some point?

EDIT: some screenshots: https://twitter.com/ummjackson/status/1076221401353207808 - zero indication that's not going directly to the creator
