Often thought about designing a print magazine with the same values as a web publication: * Agree to all sorts of scary things to take off the plastic wrapping * Peel off multiple big stickers on every page * Big heavy adverts that overlap the content and weigh pages down * Built-in Tile/Airtag to track location * Chumboxes for other magazines at the bottom of each article ...etc

This sounds like a local “newspaper” that’s 90% ads.

I’ve got one that fully identifies as a newspaper but there isn’t even a single article on the front page.

That‘d be a fun art project imo

And then give it away for free of course!

Love this! There used to be a similar site on HN some time ago, something in a sense "How I see internet these days" and endless pop-ups kept on annoying you. Anyone remembers that?

Oh, I know that one. It comes built-in as an easter egg in uBlock Origin - you can open it by clicking the big "Power" button that shows after you click the uBO logo in the browser toolbar.

Doesn't work on Hacker News though

Especially the ones with the sleezy ads on the backpage for massage and other services.

Excellent idea - and every time you try to put it down for a moment a hidden spring triggers and it flies up off the table and into your face
