    Im going to either get ignored, or downvoted to hell but…
    Bot control.

    Their site is the only source the website can be read/scraped and with the influx of ai scrapers ignoring all bot rules they might want to try and kill that.

    I havent seen the pop up yet, nor checked out the html dom, but i suspect they, like any website, are getting a huge influx of ai bots doing terrabytes and terrabytes of data transfers

      I think they’re also trying to pump up logged in unique visits for investors. They’ve been stagnant on those but non-logged in visits have been going up steadily. I think they’re trying to convert a fraction of those visits into logged in accounts.
