@noodlejetski this is big

Edit: on the other hand

In an echo of Forbes’ business model, TIME plans to produce more ad-supported, digital content that will live on its website, its mobile app and across social media.

This might not fit well with some privacy minded people. But I can understand their need to support their business without getting hungry. Hope the ads won't be that intrusive.
