Maybe it's just me, but it's less trouble to write instructions than to go hunting for a certain issue of a magazine. Things started to change when they teamed up with QNN. :x
I've never been a fan. The magazine never seemed to contain enough to justify the price for me. Reading this post says it all - you send people to the website for a printout of the instructions and hope they purchase something while they are there, especially since they can be writing it all down for free while watching.
But to discourage viewers from writing down instructions so they can go to the website and purchase the magazine?? That does seem like an obvious grab for revenue on their part.
