Even on paper magazines people were fed up and pushing back some time ago, I remember seeing 'this magazine is less than 50%'ads' or the like as a pride point, so at some point salesmen thought that was a good enough differentiator


Back before the Internet (browsers) a big reason I bought/subscribed to magazines was for the ads. That was how I found out about most new products.

Today I rarely find out about anything from ads. Instead I find out from sites like HN, slashdot, etc or from social network connections and groups
