Poll: Do You Subscribe to a Newspaper?

[Fallen]

ANNNND I forgot the poll button, and I can't edit it in, and I can't delete the post. Wonderful.

I guess i'll just ask the question again: Does anyone here subscribe to a digital or print newspaper, be it local or national?

[Allereli]

tacos?

[Fallen]

tacos?

I'll take that as a "I want to beat the poll setup" response.

[Taernath]

No.

I waited a few minutes for the poll and you went and fucked it up! :D

Washington Post digital subscription. I originally had it through a Sunday paper delivery, but moved it to bill through Amazon after Bezos bought the Post.

[Khariz]

Nope. My local bigger-city-paper tries it's damnedest every month to make me subscribe by only offering 15 free stories per month and then throwing up a pay wall. Sucks for them that I access the paper from 5 different devices, and all are equipped with copious amounts of VPN services as well. Not gonna pay them.

Edit: Oh, I thought we were only talking about digital subscriptions. I subscribe to my actual small town newspaper (in physical paper), but it's only a once per week paper.

[Wrathbringer]

Yes, local.

[time4fun]

No- which makes me a bad person. A LOT of national news is actually broken by local journalists. I don't think most folks realize how much we still rely on those local publications.

[Gelston]

No. Newspapers are 75% ads now anyways.

Back in college, I bought a WSJ student edition and got 1 year of service for like $20. That was 6 years ago. Since then, I continue to get the WSJ everday and have changed my address 4 times. Dunno.

I had WSJ in college because one of my classes required it on my Freshmen year. I cancelled it shortly after.

Buy subscribe do you mean pay?

Hey pal, the local newspaper is free.

[Gelston]

How about this then, would you pay for it?

[Androidpk]

No, probably not. I read it every week but I mainly use it for the crossword and sudoku puzzle.

[Methais]

No, but that doesn't mean newspapers don't still have their uses...

And also because I don't want to have to deal with this shit:

I might subscribe to one after some slight renovations are done to my neighborhood though.

seriously the only reason I miss getting a print paper.

[Gelston]

Meh, I use the billions of coupon pages I get in the mail for crawfish.

[Androidpk]

Why would you eat off newspaper or coupons? Get a plate you savages!

those don't make it into my apt

[Gelston]

Because it is cheaper to clean up? You jsut trash it. Dude, a crawfish boil, you'll have dozens and dozens of pounds. On average at my boils people are eating about 6-7 pounds per person. A plate isn't sufficient.

[Tisket]

Read news from multiple sources but no physical subscription. I sometimes pick up a paper from one of those vending boxes though.

I've got a bunch of digital subscriptions to national and international pieces on national security, military, foreign policy/relations type stuff.
