GTA:O shows advertisements for in-game purchases on the loading screen. How many advertisements you see is a function of how long the loading screen takes.

Something tells me this "problem" was discovered long ago at Rockstar HQ, and quietly deemed not to be a problem worth solving.

Could be, but I can imagine people giving up on GTA: Online altogether because it takes too much time to load.

Luckily for them, churn is usually a different problem solved by a different part of the team/org with different priorities and insights.
