>hijacking people's personal brands to collect money without their explicit knowledge is a bad thing.
Brave gave users BAT to tip content creators. They tipped it, if it wasn't claimed in 90d, Brave returned the BAT to the pool. There was no collecting money. It was Brave's promotional BAT and it never actually left Brave's possession unless claimed.
The issue was that it wasn't clear if the creator had or hadn't signed up. Which was fixed within 48h.
