Yep, it's happened time after time on that site, every time I started
to feel bad about using them so much with adblock enabled, another
case would come up and I'd just continue blocking all the ads. 

As it is I now have their patron membership so ads are just plain
removed for me - they have a nice deal where if you gain enough rep
for helping with their content, they consider you've contributed
enough and give you patron for free, and as I run their addon and
contribute comments now and again, I got there, great :-) Tbh I'd
consider paying for it too, given how very much I use it, but they
only reduced the price down to a reasonable level very recently,
before that it was way too high, and by the time they set it at a
level I'd be happy to pay, I had it for free anyway.
