Blame the parent company, Purch. They are letting pretty "meh" Native ads, that obnoxious content video with pre-roll ads, and Taboola-style crap like Revcontent. Their normal banner ads are just fine, and should bring in plenty of revenue. Too much, and bad for end-user experience. Purch is just acting like most publishers now a days, it's the lay of the land for ad revenue. Just look at how they describe their advertising:
