    The top of the article has a banner ad, there is a floating footer ad that refreshes every 20 seconds, as you scroll there are text ads, image ads, auto-playing video ads (one which floats to the top of the page once you scroll past it). Those ads. Edit to reply to your edit: pi-hole is an adblocker lol

      Seriously though. Firefox and uBlock origin.
      Don’t live with ads.

          You can ad block on iPhone, check out AdGuard for Safari, it’s good
