Got conned by BAT and have a growing sentiment that by continuing to use Brave, I'm enabling the company to make back the advertising earnings promised; I refuse to do KYC to redeem them.
KYC is only required (by law, with which Brave must comply) for those wishing to cash-out (or deposit their own) BAT (into or out of the Rewards Wallet). No KYC is required for the use of Brave's general-purpose "Brave Wallet". Also, no KYC is required for users who wish to earn BAT (via Brave's privacy-respecting Ads) and use said BAT to support content creators.
