Interesting reading these in the light of excessively intrusive advertising on websites being one of HN's favourite dead horses to beat.
I'm reading the smalltalk issue and the introductory editorial has a hyphenated word split over a two page ad spread plus a half page ad on the page it finishes on. Which is also opposite a full page ad. (the next two pages are ads)
- protomikron 8y agoI wanted to mention the same thing, it is littered with ads. However I remember reading some gaming related magazine way back in the early 2000s and there were also many ads (and still are I guess), so it's not a BYTE specific thing, but print-media in general.
- jonhendry18 8y agoThose ads are how they could publish a 500 page monthly magazine for $2.50. And at the time, the ads were to some extent also useful information about the industry, in a period where there wasn't much available.
- gglitch 8y agoImportant difference between ads that can see you and those that can’t.
