The first priority for publishers should be to create an excellent consumer experience. If they do that with viable economics, the advertisers will follow. Publishers lost track of that idea years ago when they embarked on a mad scramble for ad revenue at the expense of both product and circulation economics.

It may be that movie theaters can make more money from popcorn than revenue from admissions, but that does not mean that the popcorn salesmen know what makes a movie attractive or anything else about the economics of production and promotion. Publishers have consistently blundered since the 1990s by trying to fit new tech into the comfortable box of economics they have lived in for so long.
