Yes, it can get annoying.  It reduces the quality of the site.

Its real bad even on some sites that pop-up ad themselves, like Kohls! I click off the sites that pop-up ad me as I realize its not about the info, its the sales, and I lose faith.

I always thought it was strange when they would pop up, and had just been looking for that.  Then I learned about target marketing.  Yes, annoying!  And have the pop up blocked.

No, I run firefox with the Adblock Plus addon installed.  Bye-bye pop ups and ads.  Haven't seen ads on a website in years.  Always surprised about how different sites look when I use friend's computers.

I hate it when the pop up covers the entire screen.  Then when you are on your phone, its too small to click off, so I have to leave the website.

I close them automatically and don't even know what the ad says. So the popups are self-defeating.
