All of my BAT from the creator program vanished.

Simple. I had 312.0-ish BAT from the creators program, but because of me living in japan there was never a way to get the pay out. (I was told Paypal and such but it never worked) so i was just going to hold onto it until there was a law change or i moved back to the states.
But now that the creators page disappeared unless you have legacy links, ALL of my BAT has disappeared.

I love the browser, but if i can lose literally 100’s of BAT with no explanation then i think the platform cant be trusted to perform the loop of paid for ads as it says it will…
Is there an explanation for this?

@Supersonic if you were in Japan, then you would have needed to be set up through BitFlyer as it is what they use in Japan and has its own special regulation. If you weren’t from Japan and couldn’t set up that account, then you would have had to do the setup through one of the supported setups which would have been Uphold or Gemini.

The Creators page hasn’t disappeared. But you are right in that vBAT has gone away and with that, they no longer show vBAT anywhere. As I answered someone else over at My Bat are missing - #11 by Saoiray is that Brave made announcements that the site was changing, that vBAT was being sunsetted, and gave a deadline for people to connect or risk losing any of it that was remaining.

At this point you can submit a Creators Support Ticket at https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=10061687185549 to see if they are willing and able to help you.

And there were lots of changes since 2020 which is where you referenced PayPal.
