My only subscription is to Golf Digest. I have been reading it for 30 plus years.
Which magazines do you subscribe to?

Other than AARP and AAA, only Car and Driver. C&D is not what it once was and I probably won't renew, but for $6/yr on amazon I signed up for a year. I recently received my last issue of Down East (all things Maine) after 6 years of subscribing. My wife and I haven't been up there in 4-5 years and she doesn't read it, so it wasn't worth the cost of renewing.
I agree that it isn't, but it seems to me most decent magazines are shadows of their former selves. Perhaps all are because of the fall in ad revenues, competition from on-line formats, etc., as others have brought up. I was not a The New Yorker reader back in the day, so I cannot really say, but it seems to have kept a certain level of quality. Not that the issues do not stack up unread around the house.
It seems much more obvious to me these days than in the past that C&D is highly influenced by who is buying ads in the magazine and likely by trips paid for by the manufacturers for the writers. It does not seem to provide much useful information on things I care about like reliability. Maybe I am too influenced by Scotty Kilmer on You Tube.
I suppose it is kind of car porn to me anyway. (I apologize if I should not be using that word on B&B.) I buy a new car about every 15 years whether I need one or not, and C&D does not exactly focus on what I tend to buy. I do like to "look at the pictures and turn the pages." The writing seems quite good. Other car magazines seem terrible these days. I do not know who they are writing for.

Audubon Magazine, received as a member/supporter. I was getting National Geographic but didn't re-up.
Sadly, my grandkids think the only magazines are the ones that hold bullets.
I haven't subscribed to an actual printed magazine for many years. I regularly read the online free subscription to Smithsonian.
