Magazine and advertisements
Permalink Closed

I get Vogue in the mail - but I feel like there is only a few pages of substance.  Last night when I was flipping through it - I felt like I had a book of advertisements.  I'm so sick of magazines being all about advertisements. There is not much substance to them anymore.  Does anyone else feel this way?

Yes, when I used to get In Style i swear the first 100 pages were all advertisments.

That's why I really like Domino and Lucky.  I feel like they have much more substance.  I don't feel like I am looking at advertisements of Sarah Jessica Parker showing off her at home Garnier hair dye job (yea right)  and then 50 pages down doing a photo shoot and getting her hair perfessionally dyed and done by some $1,000 a minute hair stylist.  It just makes the advertisements that much more annoying and unrealistic. Like I really think Halley Barry uses cover girl!!  Come on people!

I too can relate to this; I'll think a magazine is REALLY thick, then when I open it up - it's MORE pages of advertising than actual articles! Drives me nuts; I may let some magazines go again b/c of that reason! LOL Oh well.

Funny you posted this because I was just reading the new In Style and thought to myself "I'm not buying this magazine anymore because it's ALL ads" it's ridiculous.  For every 2 pages of actual substance there's like 20 ads.

I will pick up Vogue in the grocery store since the cover looks interesting.  Flip through the pages and I only see advertisements, so I put it down.  They are so greedy for money they don't care that 75% of the magazine is advertisements!

I despise Vogue for that very reason.  And those issues of other mags that are unusually thick and say 'biggest issue ever' on the cover? Yeah, biggest issue b/c you added 90 extra pages of advertising and only 10 pages of editorial.
