The problem doesn't seem to be related only to web. These dark interstitial patterns are present in every platform.
Recently used Ola's (Uber's main competitor in India) native app on android, and right when you're about to book a pool ride, at times, they'll show you a full page interstitial advertising pool rides. And if that wasn't ridiculous already, they provide no way to cancel the popup. The only way to proceed is by clicking "Try share".
And when you do so, it throws a generic "Uh Oh, Something went wrong error", and you're basically stuck without a ride.
