just move crucial bits in another language and use webassembly. so good section of your code is in compiled binaries hence blocking anyone stealing your IP. also at the moment they just change some bits I don't think it'll be long before they can just recreate a new project with different code but with exactly the same functionality and then you got no protection afaik(although not a lawyer so not 100% sure).

Can't you just steal the entire WASM code just as easily? I mean, I guess if the ads are stuffed in WASM that becomes a problem. But LLMs are pretty good at reverse engineering. I can't imagine it would be too much effort to get them to take the ads out, or to replace your ads with their ads.

LLMs can decompile assembly code quite well these days, so I doubt that WebAssembly will be a hurdle.
