You can't even read a short article without having to pay. I know it's a way to bypass these articles (or simply find the article elsewhere), but it's annoying that 90% of the articles you try to read are behind some pay wall. --- "I will die of cancer before I let another dude finger my a******." - ZeroX91 ...

Questionmarktarius posted... Buying an actual paper issue of a magazine, journal, or newspaper Yeah, I haven't actually paid for a magazine in so long. Maybe that's the problem. But when I did pay for magazines, it was generally because they also had demo discs or something. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...
