Oh. This is their vision quest optional ad thing. Not that its great but these exist on desktop already, and can be completely disabled in settings. This post just now reminded me that they made that, I turned it off and completely forgot.

They also say that the option to disable it will exist on mobile too. Its shitty that there are ads at all but this is about the least offensive option I've ever seen. Can't promise it won't creep out and get worse later but yeah.

i mean there has to be a way to fund the business. ads are fine as long as there is a way to remove them through options or paying a reasonable fee.

They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.
