It's cool
I hear ya on the personal opinion, and they are annoying, but not as annoying as you might think - it certainly doesn't stop tens of millions of surfers per day visiting the tubes, piratebay, and yeah it isn't targeted, but 1:4 - 6k is what I was getting when I had traffic - you'd be surprised, as would almost everyone who doesn't use them for either fear of 'upsetting' a surfer, or that they are useless.
When I started using them it made zero difference to my usual sales, and obviously brought in more money - I've yet to hear of someone introducing them, then deciding to remove them due to any detrimental effect.
Regarding the blockers - same thing with ad blockers, but nobody would remove ads in case the surfer found them 'annoying'
Funny enough, those floating ads I find annoying as hell lol, but I bet you wouldn't remove them because many surfers also do, and use ad blockers
consoles = extra revenue, and that's the bottom line
If I piss off some guy because he has to take less than 2 seconds to close a popunder, and is irritated for 2 seconds (and maybe 0.000000001% of porn-seeking surfers who are now on your page looking at porn, and wanting to see more otherwise he wouldn't have clicked in the first place would actually close a site that popped 1 console), I'll still sleep pretty easy
