Why black out some text? Is that actual story text blacked out?
- nxobject 3y agoIt doesn't look like it – this is an example from a Star Trek Novel: https://johannes.freudendahl.net/2019/01/werbung-in-romanen/ https://johannes.freudendahl.net/2019/01/werbung-in-romanen/ The only redeeming quality is that the ads seem to be typeset to cover a whole physical page, so you could just tear it off without losing any actual story text. But you don't need the black lines to do that...
- Maken 3y agoSo, are the black lines there just to pad the page? Seems quite wasteful.
