Same happened to me. And there was no way to close it. I did a hard refresh and it loaded again without the popup - I'm guessing it's on a time delay? Either way, super annoying.
Disable javascript and you won't see any ads. Sometimes you don't see anything at all, true, but in those cases the close- or back-button quickly solves your problems.

That was technically an ad inside an ad. The article is clearly an example of content marketing.
