BF should sign up as Brave "verified publisher"
More info here.
I recently switched to Brave as my browser, to try to limit my Google Inc footprint. Brave has their own ecosystem of less-intrusive/more-privacy-respecting advertising, and it includes revenue-sharing. Users I think can cash out their revenue-share, but also they can 'tip' content creators they like if they're in the Brave network.
In a few weeks, I've earned a revenue share of less than 2.0 BAT (Brave Attention Tokens, which I think means less than $2), but I'd be happy to tip to BF if I could, and if lots of BF users did that, it could become a significant revenue stream
Note also Brave has a lot of built-in adblocking, if tons of BF users switched to Brave (or other privacy-browsers that are growing in popularity), I don't know if all the blocked ads means that BF would lose revenue. Do ads know they've been blocked? Or do advertisers still pay for them?

Note also Brave has a system whereby it measures the amount of time/attention users spend on various websites, and users can 'auto-contribute' BAT revenue based on that time.

I just claimed my first monthly award of 1.75 BAT (a little over $2), and was able to 'tip' 1 BAT to duckduckgo.com. If BF joins the Brave ecosystem, I'll tip to BF (plus auto-contributions based on 'attention')

I just discovered another website besides DuckDuckGo which is 'Brave Verified': Wikipedia. So now my BAT tips have two places to go (but I would still rather tip BF -- and more significantly, evangelize for others to switch to Brave and tip BAT to BF)

I just discovered another Brave Verified website: archive.org. So now I have 3 places I can redirect my BAT tips to. Would still like to tip to BF...

Update: one of my favorite youtube educational creators (3Blue1Brown) is Brave-Verified, so that's where all my BAT tips will be going for now. (Again, this is not about me and my piddly tips, it's about the possibility of drumming up a meaningful revenue stream from a few hundred? thousand? BF users)

Here's a website that lists some Brave Verified creators that can receive BAT tips: https://givebat.com/ But it seems to be very limited, probably everybody on those pages already has millions of followers and is pullin in big revenue (and paid to get onto this list)
Here's a website that claims to list all Brave Verified creators https://bravebat.info/search and there's millions of them, and the simple search capability only looks for substrings in the names, which is not that useful.
