What's up with the creepy ads on this website? It seems like they are actually sketchy ads and not just fake ads for comedic effect. One shows some scammy nonsense about your device being infected and the other links to a real VPN app.

That's just the ambient creepiness of the internet. It's a creepy place!

This is probably the result of a context based ad network serving sketchy adds because of the suspicious url content.
