Brave, the self-annoited "brave" answer to that question everyone is asking: "why isn't there another middleman between me and the producers of content I like, skimming another 30% of their income off the top?"

Actually, they are trying to do the exact opposite — which is to eliminate the middlemen and make paying creators more frictionless.
Yes, if you opt-in to the system, they will take a cut, which is entirely reasonable if the model ends up being better for users and creators.
Time will tell if that's the case, but it's an interesting experiment.
