    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.

      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.

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

      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.
