    I used to love magazines, with their coverdisks full of goodies.

    But the internet banished them. I stopped buying once I realised I was reading things I’d already read about online 2 months ago…

    Monthly print can’t really compete with instant.

      Not to mention, they don’t have comment sections to provide context or tell you why it’s bullshit.

      Yep, that’s what’s killed them for me too. I like having a physical magazine, and I like reading about things that I might otherwise miss, but the news is always old, and the guides tend to be spread across several issues that cost upwards of £6 each.

      I wouldn’t get a magazine for news.

      I still get paper thrasher for the pictures and the interviews for example. It’s not about latest and greatest.
