Really annoying ads when not logged in

hi, when viewing certain jam entry pages while not logged in, I'm seeing very large and obtrusive ads everywhere. The ads are not present while logged in. Is this happening for anyone else?


example page link: https://itch.io/jam/toxic-yuri-vn-jam/rate/3718556 



I just tried the link and several other jams in incognito mode and didn't get any ads.

I've never read about anyone reporting anything similar; it seems to be something on your end.

I got the same ads on my iPhone and also a computer at my  library, I think something is going on

I just tested it from my Android phone, where I'm not logged in to Itch, and I can confirm that the page is showing me an ad.

It's really strange, because even using an incognito account, I can't get it to show the ad on my PC, so I really don't know what's going on. Hopefully, someone can help us figure this out.

EDIT: 
Okay, my PC isn't showing me the ad because Firefox is blocking Google Ads, but I don't know why that page has that advertising. I haven't read anything about Itch adding this type of advertising, and other pages don't seem to show anything. Could it be something to do with that developer's CSS?

I’ve tested it on several devices my home ps4, my iPhone, my iPad, and two computers at the library. They all showed ads except for one library computer.

thank you for double checking, that gives me peace of mind
