Giveaway.su displays a cheating message when using the script. #63

Instead of showing the steam key, it shows the message (which I linked to above). If you disable the script before completing the captcha it still doesn't work, and you can never redeem the key with that account if it catches you "cheating". It clearly states that "We are OKAY about scripts helping you to complete tasks faster" although it seems it can't tell the difference between cheating and being efficient.

I can confirm that I got the same message using only this script, with Ad-blocker disabled, and after re-installing the Giveaway.su extension off the Chrome Web Store.

This script does not fake the completion of tasks. I interpret this as them having changed their stance on helper scripts, and the error message just hasn't been updated to reflect that.

I'm not willing to create a workaround for this, and so I'll be removing support for Giveaway.su.

I found out the problem! On the official Giveaway.su Discord server I got this reply saying why the script is not allowed: https://i.imgur.com/g0NrbdR.png Instead of removing support, just remove the unfollow features of the script and maybe the script will work.

I'm not willing to do that.
