Browser notification spam in general
We have examined countless rogue pages; ourhugenewz[.]com, oortagle[.]top, webprotectionrequired[.]com, and messenger-rocks[.]com are just a few of our latest finds. Websites of this kind display browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious content.

It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
