. To make this opinion even wronger, the assumption is false, and in fact Magazine sell more!
Not in recent years. The current number of late-night shows far outweigh the day time ones.
Except that's not what any of the people in the industry say? Majority of magazines are purposely printed at a loss and they've been selling less and less every year. Only a handful of mangazines (two really) have any chance of making a profit.The same ideas were(and probably still are) in the internet manga community, in this forum as well, where is believed that the magazine is an advertisement for the volume sales. And the entire reason for reaching that conclusion is the fact that volumes sell more,
For an episode to air on TV the network that it's going to be airing on pays for the rights to air the show, so the animation company does not have to pay for it to be aired like you said, also other companies pay to air advertisements throughout the show regardless of ratings that's how the network receives it's money. The whole point that sponsors play is that they fund the anime to be made so they can advertise that they footed the bill that help make the anime not air it. Also the animation studio makes more money from airing on tv then they do for disk sells, because that is a stationary price with no need to worry that they won't make any money unlike with disk sells.That is not quite right. There are a lot of series that don't air late in the night. I would say that in any given period of time there are almost the same number of series running during the day as those in the night.
Toei animation earns more money from TV than Disk Sales, and even if that wasn't the case TV is highly important, because an episode needs a lot of money up front to air on TV, and that is not something that animation studios, even Toei Animation, are comfortable or able to do. They are able to get that money through Sponsors, and the objective of sponsors is appearing at the beginning, middle, end of the episode and advertisement. So TV Rankings are highly important.
The relation you made about the most "quality" product and its importance makes no sense at all. Its sad that many people reach the same wrong conclusion.
Also for a company no section of their business is an advertisement for another, no section, except the Advertisement section itself!
This stupidity of calling less profitable areas "just advertise" to most profitable ones is highly insulting? So what happens when the less profitable area develops to be the most profitable? It suddenly turns to be the advertised one? The definition of advertisement isn't being the low denominator in profit!(In fact REAL advertisements don't even bring a profit, but just cost!)

Yes, in Recent years! While you have 2 to 4 night series in a timeslot during 1 year, you have 1 day series in a timeslot during the same time. This means while looking at a higher view you seeing 20 to 40 night time series agaisnt 10 day series, in reality in a given week the option given to you for day and night time are similar.
You are using the ~2M of Jump as the standard, when it is a massive outlier in the overall industry. As I said, there are only handful of magazines that have a chance of selling at a profit. Majority of the magazines sell no where close to that amount. The cost of printing and distributing a single issue of magazine is also significantly higher than that of a volume, hence volumes hold a much higher profit margin.
And no other magazine has any close to series volume average of 500k(not even Shonen Jump) so your point?
It's a pretty thin pool with a very steep drop in quality
If its editor was, like, the president of Shueisha, maybe, but otherwise it is not only unlikely, but impossible.
I feel like folks were definitely planning on starting a Samon anime they finished Gintama but then it didn't end.
Its entirely possible that that director already put a proposal forward but couldn't get it green lit. Its usually true that most directors and even producers have some projects that they want to do but are unable to find sponsors. Samon was pushed heavily along side Black Clover, Kimetsu etc but it didn't perform.
