You can limit downloads to active users, limit guests reading to first post only.
Make sure if you are doing this the guests and regular bots are getting same limited content. There is also ways to indicate to bots it's behind login/paywall so you can let them index the entire page.

For Google's ads bot the rules are going to be different but I'm not so sure how you would handle this. I guess it's moot point in your case if the ads are not displaying on full page. Treat it the same as regular bot with partial content.

Quick tip here, you can create custom bots group. If for example you had a forum where bots have no access you can create "Ad Bots" group to give it access even behind login. The one caveat is the user agent can be spoofed giving unregistered user access, you can add the IP's to the bots setup page to prevent spoofing.
