For those using the Bitcoin Magazine to grab some meaningless sats for reading their garbage, BE AWARE: they are stopped the withdrawals !
A friend of mine sent me this alert from the BM app:
PLEASE STOP USING THAT SHIT BM !
41 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 6 May
Spent all the sats they owed users on ordinals.
reply
That's why they are called ordinals mag
reply
Pretty hilarious. Focus on ordinal spam and halt withdraws.
reply
they have a newer, more lucrative model that doesnt focus on paying people a few sats for their data and eyeballs.
reply
They should put that on the pop up window when people try withdrawing the sats they've earned.
"We have a newer more lucrative model that doesn't focus on giving you your sats."

wait... so people are reading that garbage, just for 5 sats? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

i think its 1 now ๐Ÿคฃ
I've left that garbage as soon as I discovered that they want everyone to consume their shitposts for 5 sats.
reply
Yep absolutely. Iโ€™ve come to the same conclusion.
reply
Just tested and can confirm.
reply
They still give sats out? Is it still like 5 per article?
reply
Wait, no! Just logged in again, and it's now a whopping 1 sat per article! Though if you can never withdraw them, I guess it doesn't matter.
reply
Is not about that meaningless reward. Is about they cannot handle anymore supporting this shit reward system.
As Darth always said: the 2024 Bitcoin halving will be brutal !
reply
It is. Also, they haven't replied to customer service emails going back at least a couple of weeks (before the current message, there were just failed withdrawals).
reply
idk... I do not use that shit app. Only that a friend asked me what is going on. For me is clear that they are bankrupt. BM is shitcoin magazine anyways.
reply
I canโ€™t even log in anymore, probably I stacked too much sats ๐Ÿคฃ
reply
How sad it is to see this, people are losing their way.

BM slowly will became another bitcoin dot com scam publication.... oh wait is already!
reply
Damn!! I know running a business in this space is extremely difficult but it always pissed me off this site doesnโ€™t use BTC pay server, zaprite, hell even open node to process payments for their merch store. Itโ€™s low hanging fruit and they canโ€™t even do that! Go and try to buy something on their site and see how hard it is to pay in bitcoin yet the Zeus team makes it so easy.
I still support them because they are the only print magazine that focuses on bitcoin. If things get dark with information online having stuff in print is more difficult to censor or change after the fact.
The rewards you earned from reading articles seemed gimmicky and too easy for people to farm and milk. If they just go back to first principles I think they would be fine but the draw of fiat is so powerful.

the only print magazine that focuses on bitcoin
You are wrong. They are total shitcoiners, pretending to be bitcoiners. Don't let them fool you!
reply
Do you know of another print magazine that focuses on bitcoin?
There were days when they gave away Sats on tweeters to the fastest ones who scanned the LNURL
