Selling advertising that loosely resembles articles and then selling advertising to go along side them is 417 Magazine's entire business plan.

It's the BBB in magazine form.

Yeah, it’s basically all an advertisement. I get a subscription every couple years, but there’s maybe 1/4 of the magazine that’s actually of interest and the rest is ads in various forms. Then they do “417 Home” which is recycled content from the main magazine and “design awards” that always go to the same small handful of designers. A few issues in and I remember why I don’t bother to renew my subscription.
