I added a very similiar popup to one of my sites, my traffic cut itself in half, time on the site hit the shitter, as well as pages viewed, etc... I made it so that it only pops up if the person views a 2nd page, then they have the "no thanks" link they can click and it stores a cookie so it won't show again for another week. Everything went back to normal after that. You especially don't want that thing popping up every single time on every page.
Since everything has 0 comments that might make the site look "deserted" to some people IDK..
Also some people won't click the ads around your videos simply because they just think it's an ad to some site and has nothing to do directly with the video being shown. Maybe try just putting some text like "This video is brought to you by [link]Sponsor Name[/link]" so they know where to get more videos like it.
