O Lord, the faucet comes back online and we have the
faucet whiners back again

If the faucet is worth your time, I am happy that it gives you some financial slack in this dog-eat-dog world.
If the faucet is not worth your time (won't take much to reach this point; the faucet economics is really for beggars), stop whining about the faucet, just buy XRB and do valuable stuff with your time.
Respect for the dev enduring all this negativity.
good point but you have to understand the cycle/flow
without continuous faucet claimers the distribution will stop
if noone works on the faucet, you won't see much XRB up for sale
no
new fresh XRB would be avalaible for trading, new supply would halt...
with steady inflow XRB (earned by captcha solver) we would have stable price
stable price depends on the equilibrium of inflow XRB to market, total supply in market, and market demands
my request for the dev is to fix the unnecessary reload of the page & faulty csrf token error
the slow captcha loading would be understandable because of the massive claimers nowadays
