    Newspapers. You paid for it, and it still got ads.

    I have never done this and I doubt I ever will.

      I’m in my 40s. The last time I can remember buying a newspaper, was when I did it for my parents as a kid 🤷

        My parents might have handed me some change to operate the box of newspapers outside the grocery store when I was three or four so I could try opening it. But I’m not even sure if I got to do that.

        Newspapers are a long metro ride thing for me. Just never got the hang of smartphones, not in that way that is. Also the interaction is different, and I don’t mean the physical aspects but the way you browse through something with a) a finite amount of information and b) with very few (if any) links. A physical paper comes with an included progress bar. You know, sense of pride and accomplishment and all.
