    Zero. I used to but it's all just ads with not much content. No need for them anymore anyway.

  9. "0"
    Because Publishers Clearing House keeps promising that I could win, and i never do.
    So, in retaliation, I don't subscribe to any magazines.
    Years ago, I subscribed to "Mad Magazine." But, I got tired of the repeated bad jokes,

    I used to subscribe to numerous magazines. Food, architecture, fashion, etc. Two years ago I took a look at my bookshelves and said to myself, "You are two magazines short of being a hoarder! Enough!" Cancelled them all.

    Lucky Peach.
    That is all. I used to get ArtNews and Architectural Digest but didn't renew my subscriptions.

    Only from my professional association. The articles all seem to the the same month in and out.

    Rolling Stone, and that's it, maybe will consider Vanity Fair, but most of them u can read 1/2 the issue for free online anyways, so what's the point anymore?

    6, but I'm letting Glamour and Cosmopolitan lapse since they are now apparently aimed at giddy middleschoolers.

    Which will leave Viz (hilarious!), Self (health and fitness), Kiplinger's Retirement Report, and Bottom Line (various little hacks and "did you know" tidbits.

    None. I shut everyone out because I don't want to get hurt.

    People fool you. You think you're going to read an interview that will empower childless women, but what you get instead is all your old wounds reopened and peppered with salt because you get to watch how neurotypicals function and just feel further pressured to have children. Thank you.

    I purchased something on-line from a very reputable business. After the end of the transaction there was a survey. If I responded, I could choose six - 6! - subscriptions for FREE! Well, naturally I did respond and selected the six magazines. I'm going through my credit card bill and discover to my HORROR that two of the magazines have charged my account $90 each. Beware celebrity magazines!

    I'm glad the last disappointing article I read was for free on a proper non-scammy free-trial (considering how much it ended up hurting me and reopening old wounds). I just can't understand how these "feminist" magazines can do their business like this. I mean, when you run a "childless" edition (meaning women who can't have children will come and read the issue expecting to feel empowered) and some interviewer starts going off-rail and directs the conversation to territories that make readers feel pressured to conform instead, it's a double dick move: First from the interviewer (who possibly went rogue) and then a second dick move from the editors who didn't edit it out. It seems more important for the editors to sell copies (and click-bait) rather than actually sell an idea what tolerant, pro-women "values" they stand for.

    Most big-name media outlets are just riding on their own past glories anyway. And then they get arrogant and don't bother with quality control. I hope the attention and magazine sales were worth it.
