Most likely something like an ad service to prevent their content being caught by domain blocklists. That would be similar to how a lot of websites started using randomized strings for attributes like id and class so that users couldn't block page elements based on CSS selectors.
Interesting how ad services and botnets behave similarly in some aspects
Cue in "Are we the baddies?" meme.
They are both malicious software that lots of people want to block; one happens to be legal.
