IIRC, you are referring to their "google ads" window, which is a pay-per-click handled entirely by google.

Like most websites who use "google ads" they (WND) get "faulty-algorithm-logic" ads in that little scroll section at times.

Google ads uses AdSense which floats ads on its scrollable section based upon keywords that routinely appear on a website (in this case WND has words such as 'Wilson'.

There have been cases when google ads, using AdSense, have automatically and accidentally placed pornographic ads with graphic pics and videos on unsuspecting website ad sections. (they were sued over this)

The way to beat those is to click on the link and not donate.

Every time you click through, they have to pay Google money. If people click through a lot but don’t donate, it would cost them a good chunk of change.
