720 sats \ 3 replies \ @south_korea_ln OP 16 Nov 2023 \ on: Ads over Lightning - social experiment bitcoin
On second thought, they used WoS for the LNURL address to send the money back to. I don't know which wallet they used to send me the money.
Also, I didn't send out a message to everyone to close the experiment, but I'll just reimburse anyone who still sends me money pointing them to this post.
I think that the reason for people using WoS is that in that wallet you can easily read the message.

Makes sense. They must have harvested my getAlby address, so I've been getting the ad messages there. As it's a browser extension, it's less visible than getting popups on your phone with WoS.
As a side note, WoS today has said they won't show notifications anymore for this type of messages, as a response to the amount of spam people have been getting. You still get the sats, but you must actively look for the messages in your history to read the ad.

I got one notification for an ad yesterday, then 3 more silently delivers payments for ads. The change must have just went live
