Title: Ads as a proxy for the quality of content
Post by: Kat Kid on October 30, 2015, 01:44:01 PM

I was reading this (http://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-long-con) and was saying to myself "right, but have you seen the back pages of The Nation or Mother Jones?  They are awful!" 

Then I realized my working hypothesis:

Just by looking at the advertisements of a magazine, newspaper, website or even television program you will be able to tell its quality.
