IOW, I think they're perfectly okay with being intrusive.

I have no doubt they're OK with being intrusive about it. That's frankly the only way it stands a chance of even being
seen in this medium. I just think they're foolish if they believe there'll be no negative backlash from a; "THAT EXCITING CHAPTER WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY RANDOM HOUSE!! TURN THE PAGE TO START THE NEXT EXCITING CHAPTER BROUGHT TO YOU BY RANDOM HOUSE" approach. It'll just result in even more people turning to less official sources to download the deloused versions.
And I can't remember the last TV commercial I saw/heard. I don't watch channels that have them.
