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

It should come with free cookies wrapped in consent notices.

Wouldn't it just be that one page (not visible without opening it, of course) has the terms and conditions you inherently agreed to by reading the cover?

PC Magazine, and other similar mags in the 90's/00's, was literally like this. I used to spend several minutes ripping the thick cardboard ads from every issue before trying to read it. At least web sites don't give me paper cuts.

yes this is a known thing.

Any recent sources on it?

Browse without login from another device+ip. Back in the day it was subtle and you'd have to browse some category of shit for a while before the prices were inflated for your account.

Looks the same for me in the UK. Even tried it from a few VPNs, and tried it from my Linux disk.
