> Advertisements in magazines are often somewhat interesting, well-made to be entertaining, or even useful.
Really? I find them interrupting, manipulative, and vapid, as a general rule. If my magazine was "boring without them", I'd need to find a different magazine. Ads are at best blockers to the content I wanted to get, and at worst manipulative and deceptive, be that in print or on screen. (Note: There are always exceptions - ads that are entertaining, be that in print, on screen, or on TV, but those are the exceptions that prove the rule for me, and something I'd happily sacrifice to have ad-free content)

Different strokes, I suppose.
