New Interesting point in there
If you manage an advertising-supported medium, isn't it in your best interests to have plenty of players with healthy competition? As you point out, an established monopoly doesn't need to advertise.

If anything, I would expect ad-media to exaggerate the competence of second-tier players.

New And that's exactly what InfoWorld (and others) didn't do.
Actually this was the second wave of magazine extinctions. The first was when the IBM PC came out and everyone started promoting it heavily and simply ignoring everything else.

The carnage among magazines was immense as all the other computer and equipment makers died.
