Is this a serious question? Nobody likes them.

Intro/outro/skits are fine. Just don't tag the tracks.

If the artist is worried about people not buying the tracks in the future, why not overlap/blend them slightly like a DJ would do.

If your using a dj it should be for promotion or to cut up and mix shit, theres really no reason a dj should be yelling over your tracks, takes away from the music

Depends on the situation. If its in the headphones or at home, no.

There's something special and familiar about hearing those loud ass tags ring from someones car window or around the neighborhood.

So do it only if you can get a major DJ, otherwise forget about it.

Use them sparingly if at all.

pretty damn annoying, like thread titles in ALL CAPS.

maybe limited to the start and end of a tape is ok.
