Has editorial content (as measured by column inches or pages)
decreased?  If not, and the price has not increased (which it does not
at least until you must renew), the information content per dollar
does not decrease either, and you are only complaining about the
number of ads you have to wade through.  Of course this assumes the
quality of this content is constant.

If MacUser or MacWorld had a KILL file, this wouldn't matter, either. :-)
