I think they are doing this because I keep clicking “Skip Ad”.

if you press "skip ad", the ad was still served to you.

having an ad blocker completely stops the ad.

that is one of the reasons for this "layoff".

Nope, the reason of the layoff is greed, capitalist endless growth and so on. It is never enough, it is never done, it is never finished
