Does anyone read magazines anymore?

I once had a free subscription to a paper magazine, and then out of nowhere they changed to an e-magazine. That was the last magazine I think I held in my hand to read.
At the dentist’s office last week, I noticed several magazines ready for perusal, and they were fairly recent. I guess they must still be in grocery store lines, but I don’t recall.
Do you have any magazine prescriptions, whether it be one you receive in the mail or an e-magazine? What are they?

I am always amazed when I browse Barnes and Noble. They have literally hundreds of magazines, about every subject there is--and OH, are they ever expensive. So many are from at least $9 up to the thick classy ones that are like $20-$25! Um, no thanks, Once upon a time I enjoyed a magazine or two, years ago. Not anymore!

I haven't had a subscription to a physical magazine in years. However, the most recent one I wanted to get was Men's Health because Jellyroll was on the cover.

Bob likes to subscribe to Fur, Fish, and Game, and does. I would like to subscribe to Prevention, and get both the digital and news stand content because I find it very valuable. Somewhere along the line some website decided I needed to receive Architectural Digest. Beautiful but I do not even look at it, as it is irrelevant to me.

No. The last magazine subscription I had was when I was a university student and that was in the 90s.
Now I don't see them in the grocery anymore where they used to be. I read my magazine when I had my first iPad and that was more than a decade ago.
Now I get what I read in magazines on Instagram and Pinterest.

I was reading paper magazines. I haven't read them lately. I was reading The Atlantic online, but I stopped for awhile. Now I read it once a week.

I still read newspapers everyday.
Yet it is only seldom that I buy new magazines now.
Even my book reading frequency is down since the last year due to multiple reasons.
I do receive offers for E magazines like from Magzter site but have not subscribed to any.
However I do plan to devote some more time fr book reading from this year.

Not really, unless I'm in a waiting office and there's nothing else to do
