Their strategy to combat ad blockers is to add more ads. Logic becomes irrelevant when youre surrounded with a cloud of greed. Ublock ftw.

My guess is they've been planning this for a while and had to combat the adblockers and third party scrapers first.

Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.

It's all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the "obvious solution" being advertised right there on the homepage.
