The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which are often optional but can become intrusive, leading to frustration among players. While many users appreciate the rewards received for watching ads, complaints about technical issues, such as crashes and unresponsive ads, are common. Some players have expressed dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of paid ad removal options, as they still encounter ads despite their purchases.

- “I paid to have ads removed, and I still get ads half the time. It's not worth paying $9.99 and still having to watch them.”
