For SLR beginners, is "mass photography" better than "friends of photography"?

I hold the opposite opinion. I think Friends of Photography is more suitable for beginners.

Although the content of Popular Photography is professional, many beginners can't accept it, and it is difficult for many beginners to see wonderful things, which is not conducive to learning. On the contrary, there are many advertisements for Friends of Photography, but they just don't watch them. Besides, beginners can learn something by reading advertisements. The key is the content inside. Although many film friends feel that it is far less than mass photography and has more water, for beginners, these simple things are needed. So recommend friends of photography.
