My problem with Brave is that the BAT incentivizes publishers to grab as much of my attention as possible. More attention, more money. If Brave becomes successful, expect the internet to become even more addictive and abusive of human psychology.

In what way is that different than the current state of affairs?
It’s another thing to (1) get users to actually use your system the way you want them to and (2) get publishers to base their revenue model, at least in part, around your system.
I am not really impressed by these numbers because they do not include any usage statistics of BAT itself and there are no examples of it actually helping publishers.
That said, they are setting out to do something very difficult so we should respect what progress they have made.
The browser itself is pretty great - it exactly what I want - Chromium without the spyware and a decent user interface.
I don't like Chrome, nor care for Brave as a browser. I use Safari for my daily browsing, or Firefox on Windows. And I really like Brave's system for supporting content creators, it's miles ahead than everything else IMO.
Why use this? Just give it time, something will arise from this that will have terrible ramifications. Either a privacy breach, or malware insertion, or key logging, or hidden coin mining... something. Mark my words.
