  im amazed with how bad how quickly Esquire's style section got
  
  like, it was never amazing, but at some point (i think coinciding with an editor leaving or passing away) it descended into this hideous advertorial hellpit

  I saw this while I was reading an Esquire article for a class a few weeks back and just got irrationally angry at it for being so goddamn patronizing
  
  It's always kind of annoying when sites have popovers like these in the first place, but the ones that make you click shit like "No thanks, I don't want to save money" or "No, I'm stupid as fuck and won't take advantage of this great offer" are especially egregious
  
  also they killed G4 for this shit so fuq Esquire

  Esquire's final descent into suckitude happened after their editor of something like twenty years decided that spending more time with his family was more rewarding than continuing to helm the magazine, which at that point I don't think was much fun for him any more. It had started years before when he'd begun to step back a bit and certain key editors had moved on or retired and financial strain meant they had to devote more pages to ad space, but it only got really bad fairly recently.
  
  Which is a shame, because they had some truly amazing investigative reporting and, in print at least, rather respectable fashion and lifestyle sections. It was a depressing decline.

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  It's a real shame that he couldn't cultivate a proper successor.
