I’ve been subscribing to Mac Addict, now Mac|Life, and I’ve been receiving the Official Xbox Magazine through a free magazine deal. These magazines have one thing in common: They’re owned by Future US, a magazine publisher in San Francisco, who used to be awesome until this.
In both Mac|Life and the Official Xbox Magazine there are 30-page ads for AT&T. Let me remind you: We pay for this! With money! What type of industry would do this? I did a little run down on Mac|Life. Only 24 pages in the 130 page magazine did not contain advertisements.
Say Digg started charging 25$ for a year of Digg-content or 10$ for one month, like a magazine, and to find that 82% of Digg was ads. You’d say forget that, I’d join Reddit for free.
Nintendo Power has recently been bought out by Future US. This would make me cry if this is what they are going to do to what was one of the best magazines out there.
Contact Future US and tell them this has to stop!
