I knew it. Unanimous.

Normally buy one on Saturday and Sunday. Just less depressing that staring at a screen ain’t it.

Think my parents still buy The Guardian everyday just out of habit and weirdly my sister does at the weekend because she doesn’t have proper internet.

dunno

Probably not since I was a student and needed to analyse articles. I buy magazines occasionally though

The smell of newspaper makes me gag - was a period of a few years where I forced myself to buy and read them as it felt necessary to being a grownup, but I fully support the death of newsprint

All those wet discarded newspapers there used to be everywhere you went :face_vomiting:

Oh wow, me too. Also can’t stand to touch the paper, makes my skin crawl. get the same with other really low quality paper.

Being forced to do papier-mâché stuff as a kid was a personal nightmare.

Broadsheet for newspapers was a pretty mad format. So totally impractical. Remember people trying to read them on a Tube, whilst standing and holding on with one hand.

What even newspaper would one buy these days

Used to buy the guardian on a Friday sporadically for the film and music section but it’s got mad expensive these days like £3 or maybe even more? Anyway cost of living and all that. It’s really depressing to have everything on a phone screen but I can’t afford that kind of money for things I can read for free. So yeah, few months ago.

I used to buy the Guardian on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays from when I went to uni in 1997 when it was a discounted 20p in the student union shop, up until about 2015 when it was pretty clear that their political coverage was almost solely insulting people like me in a dishonest way.
