And they make money by you having to buy BAT to give it. Either with the information gathered from which ads you view or by having to buy it to begin in the first place.

Actually, they don't make money on sales of BAT. Like most cryptocurrencies, its price is determined by supply and demand.
Sure, they’ll benefit if BAT goes to the moon because part of the team’s compensation is in BAT, but that’s no different than a startup and their stock.
So, can you only "mine" bat by watching ads?
Brave distributes grants from time to time.
When I updated to the latest iOS version, I got 20 BAT, for supporting content creators.
If you’re a content creator and you register your site or YouTube channel, you can be tipped in BAT.
Brave also allows you to tip folks on Twitter and GitHub.
And of course, you can buy BAT on various exchanges like Coinbase, etc.
