Please take a look at o_wilson's posting history, as I have found another link to a plagiarized article on Medium, and the situation doesn't pass the smell test.
The account which posted this link to HN seems to have a posting history that includes at least one other Medium article by a one-time 'author' plagiarized from Hackernoon.
I'm not a fan of time tracking, but I like current subscription models like Patreon or Youtube's even less.
There's about 30 content creators I'd like to support, but in no way I'd pay $5 each, which is the standard contribution proposed by e.g. Youtube. In fact, I'm not supporting anybody at the moment, except seldomly donating money with Paypal.
I budget my salary every month, and I'd like to give, say $50 a month to the creators I follow. Perhaps in different percentages. Next month I'm more generous, here's $200, please divide it accordingly.
It's easy for us with a decent salary, but many, if not most people I know have $10 to spare. It's about 2 Youtube subscriptions. What to support more people? Get a better job or turn off your ad blocker and give your data and privacy away.
Time tracking might not be optimal, but the killer feature to me is "this is what I have, split it and donate it, even if it's just a few pennies."

How much of that money comes from VCs (in form of "BAT monthly giveaway") vs from the actual advertisers?
To me, Brave is just Chrome without all the Google stuff and a built-in ad-blocker. It's fantastic.
