Not everyone sits in the shit hole that is the P&W discord and the ads should have been disabled and an explanation put on the rewarded ads page. Simple really if you really care about your player base which as this proves once again that sheepy does not.
In that case he should shut them off until he has fixed the issue. So because he has not disabled the ads it is his issue. People will be much less pissed off if he disables the ads and explains why than they will be by his just leaving them active but people not getting the rewards they are due for watching the ads.
Common sense isn't really that hard.
This is just another instance of sheepy not giving a shit about his player base. The ads play, you just don't get credit for watching them. Today I started getting credit for watching but that stopped after 7 ads, so congratulations sheepy, you are useless.
