Thanks for presenting the other side, Sam.

No offence, but I still cannot digest that we have to pay more to see more ads.

I agree ads are sometimes better than the articles, but please do not expect the consumer to pay for their annual parties. You have a party, please foot your own bill, don't squeeze the consumer, who is already squeezed.

Would you be willing to pay 10$ for an auto magazine like the rest of the world does?
And consumers too have to pay taxes, electricity bills, telephone bills, petrol bills, medical bills & amongst all these bills still find the resource to pay for a magazine that is full of stuff which is not worth your 'extra' money.

I would be willing to pay for what i get. whether it is Rs.10 or Rs.1000/-.

Just putting forward a consumers' point of view.
cheers
