They take 30% of your BAT whenever you use it for a transaction, even when you're donating to a content creator that has not consented or authorized a BAT wallet to be made in their likeness. Tom Scott dragged them on Twitter for this, it's quite an entertaining rabbit hole to fall down: https://u.today/reddit-top-youtuber-accuses-brave-browser-of...

Nit: 0% on transactions. You can transact BAT like any other unrestricted ERC20 with no enforced fees (apart from any gas, if applicable). The charge is specifically for donations through their platform.
