I wasn't stating an opinion about either of these magazines.
I don't think what I wrote differs in any way of what BerlinRocks stated... I was pointing out another way to look at things - in my opinion popularity is never a good measure on how good something is - and that was just what, at least how I understood it, Berlin was saying.
Regardless what is my personal opinion of Vogue US (in fact, I much prefer it to Vogue Paris, if you must know), I know that it is rather hated by many people who are into fashion. I mean, TFS has even a threads that concern what should be changed in it and how bad it has gotten under Anna Wintour - because there is a good portion of TFSers here who don't like the magazine's direction. And most of the talk at the Dec thread was about how,again, Vogue US has made a huge mistake in putting Jennifer Aniston on the cover and including a quite personal interview with her.
Vogue Paris, on the other hand, is beloved.
I was simply pointing out that lots of views does not equal a good magazine... I was NOT stating my personal opinion about the said magazines, merely saying that I didn't think BerlinRocks's theory was right.
