Just tested myself, there are definitely ads that show up after a download has been selected and started.
Comment on When Did VLC's Site Get Ads?

There are no ads on my computer or my phone when running no adblocker.
Your network or multiple devices have been hijacked, someone is injecting ads.

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.

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.
