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.

I'm one that had pre-order bonus on GTA Online but gave up in part due to the loading times. If I have one hour to play I don't want to spend 10 minutes on loading screens.

It's funny to think that I would probably pay some amount to have GTA Online without these absurd loading times and without modders/hackers :D
