    I’d argue some magazines are basically ad pushers wrapped around a thin layer of minimum effort articles.

    Hell, most of them, when I think about it.

    Google, though… ads are their core business.

      Ad publishing platform. They don’t make the ad, that’s the ad company but they are distributors.

      The term ‘newshole’ was used by newspaper publishers to describe the amount of space left to print news after the ads were all laid out. The ad placements were planned out first, then news articles were literally edited to fit around them.

      I agree about magazines being ad pushers. And they have the balls to charge $10+ for the “content”.
