I would wager the various adblocking tools will be updated to handle these new Facebook ads pretty quickly. You would think that by now marketers would have learned that people will generally let ads slide as long as they are unobtrusive, but these 'HEY LOOK AT ME!' ones always end up with people either avoiding the site or installing blocking software. These ads just don't work.
I guess we are seeing yet another new generation of marketers learning old lessons, or old marketers who have rising through the ranks and not learned a think for the last 20 years.

Most people don't use ad blocking software. Most people don't actually know it exists.
Most people accept that the Internet is all full of ads, and will continue to frequent sites laden with them because they don't realize there's a choice.
We know this is true because the advertising business remains extremely profitable - which only happens when ad impressions are made.
