I like to think that the 'unsustainable' VIP rewards are paid out from a pot of crypto seized from all the scammers and cheaters who've been caught.
The only way this would be sustainable was if there was enough scammers for them to earn enough revenue from. Since most scammers aren't depositing their own money and just simply abusing the faucets then that revenue has to come mostly from ads. If Mellow Ads decided to start caring about fraud impressions, which it doesn't appear that they currently do, most of that revenue would vanish.
