My guess is someone who really, really, really wants you to see the advertisements. With a little bit of content on the side.

    just reminds me to Nolan Sorrento from ready player one

    This is the first of our planned upgrades. Once we can roll back some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures

    idk which one is more sad, that reddit is actually doing this or that i had to specify "ready player one" when looking up the exact quote because otherwise it referred me to completely serious marketing articles
