If every day was acceptable, then the amount of ads would be roughly divided by 7 (days in the week). Therefore if you have now 49 ads on a Friday only, you'll have now seven on any given day. This returns friday back to normal. A few ads every day are not as disturbing, then hundreds on one specific day. The problem (is it?), when Friday starts and finished will also be solved.
