The dispute centers on Brave's ability to overwrite ads. You can turn on a feature where, in place of, for example, CNN's ads on cnn.com, Brave will swap them out with ads that support Brave. You might turn that on to send a few bucks their way.
Brave advertises a feature where a website can send a special header that tells Brave not to do that - to just block the ads instead. Archive.is has turned that feature on, but Brave continues to replace their ads with Brave ads.
The Archive.is people say WTF is this bullshit? Either show our ads or block our ads, but we don't want you swapping them out for your ads. And until Brave agrees to abide by their own advertised features, archive.is has decided to block them.

Thanks. This explains a lot of my recent browser related ball ache.
Where did you read about this, out of interest?

admittedly, on Reddit. /u/Rotteuxx says it's not true so, maybe I'm wrong. But that's what I had read.

That's not it at all, not sure where @lacrimamosa got that from.
The owner archive.today has a personal beef with Brave because one of his buddies or himself (i don't recall) tried to cash in their Brave rewarda but the registered email was in a blacklisted country.
So the owner of archive.today, being the faggity soyboy that he is, decided to take it out on the users because Brave wasn't budging about sending money to a country on their blacklist.

Thanks I've been wondering
