* That aren't incredibly intrusive
* That don't actively hinder my seeing whatever it is I'm trying to see
* That aren't deceptive
* That are for a product I might someday, ever, under some circumstances, care about in any way whatsoever
* That provide some, any, information about the product (for some products "I exist" is enough, for others, not)
* That aren't repeated so often they start to make me foam at the mouth.
