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

Hell the screen from Idiocracy rings a fucking bell seeing this.

Or for really old-school nerds, Max Headroom. There were the Zik Zak "Blipvert" ads that were hyper-accelerated until they literally made people's heads explode (like in Scanners).

Would you like some usable content with your ads?
