I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.
I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.
I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.
Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.
Oh but I agree to your sentiment of subscriptions. the only subscription I have is a Server at Hetzner. I hosted my stuff from home before but with all the constant moving it’s very complicated. So it’s worth to me to pay the 20 EUR a month for hosting a VPS. Another subscription is access to the internet and rent. But other than that I don’t have anything.
That is a great idea!
