The only magazine i've ever subscribed to was Nickelodean Magazine back when i was a child

or to be more accurate my mother paid for it

also my grandparents on my moms side subscribed to an xbox magazine for some reason

probably to give us grandkids something to read while we spent time there

Nickelodeon magazine was awesome! I didn’t subscribe but sometimes my dad would buy it for me as a treat while grocery shopping.

I haven’t subscribed to a magazine in a while but for one year a long time ago I subscribed to probably 3 or 4 tabloid magazines at once (think US Weekly, InTouch) and they all came on the same day so I’d make it my treat for the week along with some take out pizza.

Aww, that's too bad, I liked that newsletter. It was fun reading creatives' Top 5 lists. Among the recent ones they had: Devery Jacobs, June Squibb, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Sonoya Mizuno, and Austin Butler

I miss getting EW in the mail, it was a nice break from bills.

Especially when you got it for $5 or 10 a year LOL.

a small number of editorial contractors and freelancers

good luck to those freelancers on getting their promised paychecks

And right when a lot of publications are switching to AI, or using "AI-detection" software that says anyone who uses Grammarly is using ChatGPT and firing them/not giving them new projects.

people have been saying journalism is dead and j school is a waste of money for decades but like... this time it's almost certainly true. it's not a hyperbole anymore
