Isn't brave supposed to be "private"?

Saw this in my adguard home query logs. OC by @TuxEnthusiast@sopuli.xyz

Brave is privacy snakeoil targeting gamers and crypto-bros. I would highly suggest using something like Ironfox or even just regular firefox, but hardened manually.
- IronFox on mobile, LibreWolf (or Mullvad Browser) on desktop.
Somehow Brave maintains a general reputation for privacy, but people who are serious about privacy will tell you that it’s actually pretty terrible.
Those are probably telemetry pings used to mine crypto.
I've seem so many ads for Brave Browser... If it's supposed to be private and anonymous and a free browser - where are they getting all this money for all those ads?
"be"? Who told you that? ChatGPT? A page selling NFTs?
