He was commenting on the profile info about the writers, as opposed to companies flogging gear type ads. I have to say that as I have two magazine subscriptions and no Kindle etc I've reluctantly not purchased it but it sounds like most, if not all, the contributors did so for free and the company/ profile stuff is the payback. Pretty much every post I've read about TBJ has been positive, and the likes of Mssrs McNutt, O'Leary, Kirtley and Rhyder ain't gonna sign up if it wasn't credible.
