Before, npmjs.org displayed module dependents - modules that depended on the module you are currently visiting - and did not display ads.

Now, npmjs.org displays ads and does not display module dependents.

Looking at it right now and I see dependencies, and I do NOT see any advertisements.  Kind of confused by this.

Dependencies are listed, dependents are not. And there's an ad for some business that is hiring.

The lack of dependents is a bug, I hear.

What do you mean by ads?

He is calling the job listings ads.  IMHO they are out of the way and below the valuable content.  Not like your paying for npmjs so really there shouldn't be a complaint, they have to make their $$ someplace and I'd rather it be from a couple job listings in the bottom right corner of the page than from 5-10 2x3 advertisements about viagra.

Dependents are back. Must have been a bug. I'm fine with this. Previously I thought it was intentional.
