Advertisers don't want to associate their brands with annoyance and inconvenience.

I dont buy that. Theres plenty of intrusive advertisement on the internet (popup advertisement, advertisement that blocks the page until you close it, advertisement pages that appear when you click a link and then must click "skip this ad" or similar).

There is brand-safe advertising, and then there is popup-advertising. Hardly the same thing.
