After the gravity of yesterday's post, what I am going to write today may seem petty, but it annoys me so much that I just have to vent for a moment.
Let me explain.
Since I set my target concerning the soon to be defunct Freebitco.in, I have changed my faucet habits and am doing them on my smartphone now as I am on it more than my laptop. This also means that I have increased my mobile activity on CoinPayU and DutchyFaucet and it is with the latter that I have encountered the most annoying browsing habit ever!
Bear with me...
Unfortunately, to use such sites it is necessary to disable adblocker, which to me is a bit of an oxymoron anyway because much of the way a faucet works means accessing Ads through a direct link. When it comes to DutchyFaucet the pages are all to frequently almost completely obscured by adverts that appear over the top of the primary content.
Annoying yes - but it gets worse...
And this is what really sets my teeth on edge. Normally one would just bypass the advertising content but much of the advert is TRANSPARENT, which means that when you appear to be clicking a link which is part of the site you still end up clicking the advert and furthermore and especially with the banner ads the close button [X] is so small or out of site that you just can't simply get rid of it. The consequence is that you end of pressing the same ad several times despite your best attempts to avoid it and just get on with the business of the faucet.
So f**king annoying!
Anybody else seen this too. A couple of other incidentals while I am at it. Since setting my target of 30,000 Sats on Freebitco,in 5 weeks ago I have added more than 550 Sats which is more than half of my remaining target. I am worried they won't pay out on less than the magic 30,000 which is why I am rushing it - so not to waste four years of using it. My original target date of 8 August 2026 has already come down to 22 May 2026. Also, like DutchyFaucet a bit of porn has started to appear on CoinPayU ads.
Pre-warned is pre-armed!
Anyhow sorry for my need to rant, but my spleen feels much better now so thank you.
As always stay safe and well my friends.
