[Meta] Why is the banner for this community an ad for the Barbie movie?

Title says it all. I usually browse on mobile, so I never noticed this

It should change periodically to other ads, to better represent the current reddit experience.
As a follow-up, what should the banner be?

I vote no banner at all. It's more satisfying than having some kind of image there.
- Mods please do this
  
  Bingo make it happen
  
  Yes, this. Please!
Sadly, it looks like the only surviving answer is

"It's a shitpost."
Likely in homage to notable and prolific Lemmy user @[email protected]:

- I mean, she’s also pretty famous for acting
  
  Spoiler
  
  It's not actually her. Probably. We can't be 100% sure though :)
We should make this Lemmy pay only, to be ahead of Reddit
LOL
I think this is an ELI5 question.
- What? Why?
  
  I never noticed it either, but now that I have... I don't know why a Reddit community would have a Barbie movie ad, either. Was Barbie produced by Reddit? Does this community only repost Barbie-movie Reddit content?
  
  What makes this an ELI5 question?
