Oh…that’s a very interesting workaround! Thank you 
I was originally looking at something like what’s explained here: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9185052?hl=en
The idea was that hopefully I wouldn’t have to manually input each ad unit if I could use the in-article code for the blog page. There’s a similar option to put them inside a product grid (in-feed ad units). Do you think this could be a suitable option as well? Or do you think it’s smarter to use the solution you found?
You might have guessed, but I’m not super-versed in coding. I have been researching the topic of ads and feel like all the pieces are all there, but can’t quite figure out how to implement them (or if it’s truly feasible, for that matter).
Thanks again for the help!
