Are you ready to pay for reading ads?
I'm echoing the same sentiment as expressed by other users.
If you are planning to subscribe it, because you liked it during your childhood/Teens - get ready for big disappointment. The once great RD seems to be taken over by the marketing department, who believes that less content and more ads will help them boost sales.
"Goose and Golden Eggs" story fits very well here.
Problems with ads:
1. TOO many ads (ya, it needed caps).
2. Too few good articles.
3. Too read a full article, you have to skip multiple ad pages - breaks the flow (besides being annoyance).
4. First 10-12 pages are just adds.
5. More than 50% of the book is made up of ads.
Of course, I was disgusted with the marketing material and didn't care to renew the subscription. No wonder, they filed for bankruptcy.
