Is this legit or a scam? I try to avoid clicking on pop ups just in case but would appreciate knowing if this is genuine or not, only started a couple of days ago. Cheers!

I turned that on yesterday.

It should only show it once every 7 days.

It's something like 6 seconds of advert.

Guest usage has gone crazy on here over the last couple of months - probably being scrapped by AI - so I thought why not intercept a bit of that.
