I was gonna say this is a sad day, but that’s just nostalgia for a time that’s passed. I grew up reading and loving Popular Science, my dad always has a subscription and I would read it cover to cover usually the day it came in the mail. I let my own print subscription lapse years ago, tried a few different versions of digital magazines (anyone remember zinio?), but today it’s just websites like arstechnica and the verge that have become the focus.
I still value the articles I come across online but the print edition is just a warm memory at this point to me so I can’t expect them to keep a business going on that.
