   @graf Earlier this year they were having issues with people farming BAT. In response, their exchanges Uphold & Gemini cut support for a lot of countries, particularly in the third world, with support being added back in as identity verification was fixed.

   More recently (the last couple weeks) they announced that all support for in-browser vBAT would be pulled. Sometime early next year everyone will have to KYC with an exchange in order to receive BAT in any form.

   Also, they were dumping BAT on the market a few days ago as a backstop. Pic related is apparently from a dm with Eich taken from /biz/ (not me). Where he mentions ad revenue being down.

   Finally (though this is conjecture) a while ago they had publicly announced a new exchange partner that would be onboarded very soon. Given how involved Brave had become with Solana, many assumed it was FTX, though this wasn’t confirmed. However, they stopped talking about the new partner once FTX fell.

   At any rate, I don’t contract there anymore. But between the market & regulations it seems things have been rough lately.
