All the magazines I subscribe to use this very annoying marketing
practice (and as you imply, also a senseless practice, in the case
of current subscribers).

As soon as I get any magazine, I immediately shake out these
"blow-ins," (as I heard they were called, from the machinery that
inserts them).  Then, as I read the magazines, I also savagely rip
out and crumble the invariable additional bound-in subscription
offers, which make it harder to read the text.
