So. Much. Ads. And this is despite the 1/4th at the end is ads only.
- atorodius 4y agokind of refreshing though, compared to today where most ads are lifestyle adds (some beautiful person doing something), here they feel more creative?
- justsomehnguy 4y agoWell, some of/from the big ones are good, sure, but most of them... have nothing with the product. And some of them like on the page 57.

- actionfromafar 4y agoThey are, but at the time there was so little content overall, that when I was done reading all the articles, I read all the ads, too. Plus the signal value was much more real back then. If you could afford an ad (however small) in a real magazine with large distribution, you were legit. Today if I see an ad it just means my filter bubble was shifted by some random youtube video I clicked on.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoAds were more useful back then. It was a fast way to quickly see what was available. The internet was far, far smaller in 1996.
- rcarmo 4y agoI actually miss that kind of ads because you would get some brilliantly creative ones. These days, the barrier to entry into the ad space is so low that ads became dumb and garish.
