You're damn straight. I'm not going to sink $20/mo into a membership if I don't know that I'm going to get good clean (in the figurative sense.. heh) content in a streamlined format without shit that is going to crash my computer or waste my time.
I think a lot of webmasters, once they get traffic to play with, start introducing the bullshit just to nickle & dime people to death, instead of going for a nice steady user base. It's pretty lame but perhaps that's the temptation as a result of the way the payoffs in the industry are set up. I'm not 100% sure this is what happens, but it is what I suspect, because pop-ups and other bullshit means of making money all require a decent traffic flow to convert.
