Anyone use hydro online ads?

[Siakapkeli]

Hi guys, i have a question to ask. Last night, i tried to find another ads network for my website. Then i stumble upon https://www.hydro.online/ website after reading about them on reddit. But i couldn't find many info about them.

Found some info from their website that website owner can monetize their when users stays longer on their website. Taken from reddit: "Here's how it works; Hydro Online, a new SaaS protocol built on Sui block chain has just created a new economy for content consumption. The project uses Proof of Time to track the time users spend consuming content and reward publishers and web/app owners."

But some people also says their code is mining monero coins on users browser. I am really don't know as i couldn't find much information regarding them. If anyone have use their code before maybe can verify or give some comment please?

Yes they do give payments. I tried it a month before and still using it. They usually pay 0.01 dollars per 30 min user stay in your website.

Hydro Online is a new ad network that pays publishers based on how long users stay on their website. They use a blockchain-based system to track time spent on content. Some people have concerns about their code potentially mining Monero coins, but I haven't found any concrete evidence to support this. It's always a good idea to do your research before using any new ad network. You might want to check their privacy policy and see if they disclose any information about their code or data collection practices.

They are a scam ads network. They allow you to installed their code, and when its payment time, they will give excuse about your content does not meet the policy and will never pay you. They could've send notice/stop receiving your traffic, but they just steal your traffic and decided to not pay when its payout time. Don't fall for their scam.

It looks like they're using investors money to pay publishers creating this effect of: Whoa this really works.

Issue is they have no way of making money to give some of it back to their publishers. They don't show ads, they don't mine, they don't do anything to make money.

They're just making their platform grow without any business model behind it. Their website shows some random BS on how they make money but none of that is real.

Most likely they're running out of investors money, hence why they just started banning accounts. They'd rather have some few thousands publishers making pennies who advocate for them vs some mid to big publishers.

As for your case, the money you withdrew with them, just consider it free money and don't expect more.

Not sure what is their end goal, but my best guess is create the volume this way, launch their own token, then pump and dump?

Either ways, there's no way they can be giving away money without any way of creating that money. There's no way a dormant script in your site would generate value.

They really do have a bad reputation, imagine everyone here saying the same thing about them.

It is a potential ponzi scheme, they stop paying after a while

I think this is true, I used them for a while. Earned a few $$ but never got paid. Emailed their support, didn't get a reply for months.

I tested Hydro Online for about two weeks out of curiosity. While the idea of earning based on user time sounds interesting, I didn’t see any payout or clear transparency from their side.

It was a scam project from the start.

Don't waste your time trying them, they will never pay you. You better off use some popup/popunder ads network if you can't have adsense on for your site.

Avoid it, many in our community have reported bad experiences.
There are many popular options for you just pick one of them.

I tried Hydro ads recently. They seem good for running harder offers because they are safer and less likely to get banned. Still testing to see how stable they are long term.
