Re: Six Percent?!
Welcome to the MacLife Forums!
Um, the ads pay for the magazine. Just like for most of TV you are not the primary audience: you (along with the rest of the subscription base) are the product that the magazine is selling to their advertisers who are the primary audience.

Re: Six Percent?!
30% (18 minutes of every hour) of broadcast television is ads. Cable, which you pay for, is about 25%.
Individual ad campaigns will often buy an abnormal amount of a magazine's adspace.
