At one point they misrepresented themselves as collecting donations for bloggers who a) had no relation with Brave and b) didn't want donations or monetisation of their content.

At another point it seemed like they were intercepting ads on pages and replacing them with their own ads. Not sure exactly what the truth of that situation is.

As mentioned by another user - under the covers they inserted their own referral codes into links to online vendors.

All in all it's a sequence of dodgy decisions that tell me they put money above honesty.
