Has anyone noticed just how poor Chili Pepper Magazine has gotten?
I just picked up the February issue, 46 pages for $3.99 (US), how do they
justify the price? More than half of the pages are advertiser driven and the
content is horrible. With only 6 issues a year, wouldn't you think that they
could come up with better content? Restaurants and advertising,
blah-blah-blah. The last packet of seeds I bought had more useful
information on the back of the packet than the last 12 months of the
magazine put together. Yes, I am mad, the almighty dollar has ruined another
good thing.
The magazine no longer caters to us chili heads, it's for advertising.
Frankly I am appalled that such a great magazine has gone to the toilet
after it was bought up by the corporate giant Magnolia Media.
The new format is absolute crap, gone are the days of useful information.
Dave should start another one .....
Any thoughts?
