And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it "Basic Attent Tokens"..

That currency you can no longer obtain or even access if you live in an area where their specific custodian wallet providers aren't providing services? Yeah, the idea (the "official explanation") was kind of neat. Shame it turns out to be such a shitshow. In the current state I would rather rebrand the abbreviation to BAT: Bullshit Acceptance Token.
