I think you're missing what is interesting about this, from a technical point of view.

This is neat, and novel:

> "Ads displayed above are loaded directly from the Ethereum Blockchain. This Decentralized Application (DApp) does not have a traditional backend. No MVC framework, no SQL database. It's just a JavaScript application served statically from Github which speaks to the Ethereum blockchain using Web3.js."

That they're profiting from it is just an amusing side effect, imo.

That is cool! But, if this DApp thing takes off, how will Ethereum nodes be compensated for essentially acting as a free CDN?

It works fine as long as there aren’t a lot of users, but once the user count become substantial, Ethereum nodes will need compensation in order to serve the amount of data needed. Is there a workable solution for this?

The images are actually hosted over http (or ipfs or swarm). The former requires you to find a host, and the later two have ways of compensating for traffic :)
