Most of them don't seem to realize how nagging users scale so badly so that it gets the opposite results (eg. driving people away).
Just think if every page out there asked the user to signup to some services... this would make the Internet less usable than using pigeons. Why? because nagging users cannot scale. An user might accept to click a couple banners every dozen different servers he/she visits daily, but what if everyone employs the same practice? And if we agree that it must be kept to a minimum, who decides what site can nag the users and what cannot?
The answer is that the practice must be abandoned because it does not scale.

Actually and sadly it's more along the lines of "The answer is that the practice must be abandoned by others but not us because it does not scale."
My take is that I just disable javascript (though some browser make it harder to do it) and skip the websites which fail at understanding the concept of a webpage and require javascript to display content.
