Annoying / Intrusive Ads

Just logged on, and... found I don't know if these ads are intentional or not (or supposed to be a permanent thing to the site), but I saw these ads that were pretty annoying. They come up a second after you reload a new page.
They look like this:

hi! for some reason, the images aren't showing up for me on that website. would it be possible for you to upload them onto imgur or another host? : o

Oh woops. Here's some new links, hopefully they work.
Extra note: They'd take up about 15% of the screenpage, and they would appear at the bottom. You can't make them disappear, you can only click a button that'd hide it (but the button would still be present)

Every page one of them pops up for me, I agree they are pretty awful cus the menu is on the top of mobile so I end up clicking on them.

yeah i really am not a fan of these ☹️ i typically use an adblocker, but i have had eggcave whitelisted for years because i want to support the site... the site has had intrusive ads before (that expand to a huge size if you hover over them even by accident, or that play really loud audio) that have really irked me but i was willing to look past it, but now having another intrusive ad permanently taking up a considerable portion of the website at the bottom makes browsing the site quite unenjoyable... totally understand that the site has to make money but surely there could be another spot for these ads to go... otherwise i will likely be turning my adblocker back on :/

I've been having the same type of intrusive ads recently
