It seems to be a soft paywall because I only get the pop up if I disable AdGuard. You should install an ad blocker.

I actually had an ad blocker installed: Adguard. Still got the pop-up. 🫤

No worries. Thanks to some separate links provided by other responses, I got to read the article.

Might be a filter that’s not on by default. I’m not sure what the default ones are but I have AdGuard base filter, AdGuard mobile ads filter, AdGuard tracking protection filter, AdGuard annoyances filter, AdGuard popups filter. It’s probably the popups one that does it which is under the annoyances category.
