I look at the ones I encounter sometimes, try to analyze what they're saying and why, but I don't buy them or treat them as an actual source of news. Not sure if anyone does that

I’m pretty convinced newspapers are subscribed to by:

Nursing homes

Schools

(Both operate as if it is 1990)

The dead

(Whose children are faking their being alive to collect benefits)

I haven’t read a newspaper for about 6 years.

It would probably get me as cross as watching the news.

Not on a physical paper.

Only people I know that read are 60+.

On my morning walk there is always a BMW driving around throwing newspapers onto driveways. Presumably people are paying him to do that.

I can’t confirm that the papers are being read, but they are being delivered.

I do. Paper format, The Economist. Gives a reasonably good quality normie view on a wide array of things. It helps me not being pulled too deep into all kinds of echo chambers uncritically.

Btw, also serves as a kind of a signal. If I read an article there talking about the crumbling fiat system and Bitcoin being the escape hatch - we’re not early anymore. Hasn’t happened yet.

Progressives love them.

False.

Oddly enough, everyone I know who reads newspapers believes exactly what the government would like them to believe, funny how that works, eh? 😄

I only use the newspaper to fire up the fireplace

The local news paper in my area is great. It covers a few neighboring towns. 90% of the articles are positive and informative. The other 10% are obituaries.
