I really don't understand how anyone things delivering week-old news and advertisements for hideous watches constitutes a legitimate business these days.

It's not just ads, it's the whole design. Most magazines design websites...that look like magazines! They put a gigantic image or Flash thingy on the front, and then big pictures in a side bar, all the while you're trying to figure out what the articles are about.

I point out: the most successful (as in well used) websites in the world...Google, Yahoo, Craigslist, Reddit, Amazon, Facebook .. are essentially text-based, not image-based, and cram lots and lots of little tiny clickable text all over the page. Why? Because people aren't stupid...they can read. They can scan. They know what they want to see.
