You'll notice a slight change in the layout with an additional content section being added. This will be reserved for sponsored content, as denoted by the sponsored tag. I dropped the top ad price and compensated by adding this section. If you don't like it, or don't like ads in general, you can always sub as a patreon (link at the bottom of the issue) and get moved to the ad free version.
