It's cool to see how far Ruffle has come in making flash games playable without flash. Was able to go check out a flash game I uploaded 15 years ago on here, and it's completely playable now, when I just assumed it was gone forever. There's so much content on Newgrounds and similar sites that isn't lost to time because of it, makes me want to go spend a few hours reliving the olden days.
A Ruffle anecdote: I know websites ship Ruffle, but I've also had the Firefox extension installed for some old sites that do not. I recently had to disable it because it made Twitch claim that my browser is too old to use their website. I'm assuming they check for Flash support, and somehow that trumps everything else they use to identify the browser version. Pretty pathetic, honestly.
I have a Twitch account that I can't log into due. They'll send me an e-mail with my username in it but won't send me the password reset e-mail. Their support will acknowledge that I clearly have access to the inbox and will refuse to help or do anything for me to recover my account. They are beyond worthless.
At least you can still use the chat from an IRC client and view streams in mpv. If they ruin those aspects I'll probably quit going there. I did also stream on there a bit in the past, but didn't get too attached or locked in, so mostly I care about the viewer experience still.

The money people probably just told them "more ads. I don't care how you do it - more ads"

I bet it's only because they forgot they had such a feature. Like RSS feeds on Reddit.
