    I used to subscribe to Petersen 4Wheel Drive from US but that was maybe some 15 years ago. Used to keep the most useful ones with tech articles in a separate box and stuff for later consulting of "my tech library". On my last years of subscription, the mag was so thin and full of adds that it became pretty much useless, with every section ending with "check our website for more content".

    These days, online profile-matching adds like the ones from Google and I suppose FB (I don't use the later) are useless to me as I disguise them from profiling me to try to "interfere with my buying decisions".

    I base myself a lot more on customer reviews and technical-oriented forums like this one. Sometimes even YouTube product reviews are more useful then an add. This is why the so-called "influencers" are making huge bucks on YT.

    We as a society have regressed back to word-of-mouth knowledge transmission (by means of video).
