I wonder how much they’re hacking the “Popular” section in the app to increase ad revenue. I notice that absolutely 0 of their top stories are ever at the top popular article list - usually travel, opinion and health, which presumably has more high traffic ads. They’re also messing with the scroller - it will stop scrolling on an ad to make sure it loads.
