  Try actually downloading a binary, I only saw them after a download had started

    I did that too. Still nothing appears. There us a donation box in place of those advertisements.

      Firefox blocks them by default. You have to turn off enhanced tracking protection.

        Then you’re using the wrong browser

      The ads don’t always show for me but they are there. I had to refresh and download the binary three times before getting a full screen splash ad.

  Just tested myself, there are definitely ads that show up after a download has been selected and started.
