I don't think this will actually hurt the sponsors. I don't believe they get any money from the DVD sales. I think their involvement goes as far as the broadcast station. In terms of broadcast, this entire endless 8 tom foolery is probably great for them, since it generates drama and pulls viewers in. No, I don't think the sponsors are gonna feel reprecussions from this.
However as far as I understand it, Kyoani don't make money off broadcasting their show. They make money selling DVD's. This entire marketing strategy goes directly against a strategy of selling DVD's, since over half the product you need to sell is something that the viewers may not all be willing to buy.
