Did you not hear me when I said it’s not against the rules, just taking advantage of them?

And I asked you to show me where it is in the written rules. It can't be taking advantage of a rule if it isn't a rule.

Video games don't have written rules, like Monopoly. Instead, they have mechanics that are repeatable and consistent. One of those is that playing ads gives rewards. That is the rule. That is what we are taking advantage of, by subverting the intended purpose of that mechanic. If it was written in the Terms of Service that you must watch the ad, and can't just let it run, you wouldn't be taking advantage of the rules, you'd just be flat-out breaking them. Then it turns from a exploit to a hack, or cheating.

An exploit is when a player operates WITHIN THE RULES, or where rules aren't written, in a way that is unfair. In this case, it's not other players you're cheating, it's the people who pay for those advertisements.

What annoys me when people misinterpret my words, and then try to paint me as a bad guy based on their interpretation of what I'm saying. If you don't understand what I'm saying, ask for clarification
