Model 3 Are the free magazines free?
Peter: Jane, what’s that magazine you’re reading?
Jane: It’s one of those free magazine you can pick up around town. It’s got some pretty interesting articles in it.
Peter: Wake up, Jane! It’s not free at all. Look at it: It’s all advertising¹.
Jane: Maybe so, but if the advertising pays for the magazine, then I don’t have to.
Peter: Sure you do. The cost of the ads is built into the products.
Jane: Still, I think advertising serves a useful purpose. It tells me about new products.
Peter: A lot of companies spend more money on advertising than on making quality products.
Jane: But some commercials² are really fascinating³. Besides, you have the freedom to choose not to look at the ads.
Peter: Well, it’s time to cook dinner.
