Agreed. Wired once featured an article I believe was titled “37 Things that Suck” and subscription inserts made the list. Of course, there was a giant arrow pointing to an insert that was placed squarely between the pages, along with the publisher’s justification for them. Despite the self-aware irony, they still view them as a necessary evil.
