Not only the magazines, but also the newsstands.
It 's true that now they are online, but unfortunately it is not the same thing.
Today's online magazines are made for a different audience, which consumes them in a different way.
Aticles are very short, light, fast, made more to expose advertising than for true content.
Once the magazines were monthly and I spent a month reading it all, typing programs, reading and rereading articles that I did not understand ...
I agree, most articles these days (regardless of topic) are superficial, poorly researched (sometimes even poorly written) and _loaded_ with intrusive adverts. I still cherish my old issues of Byte and Creative Computing. Opening a random issue always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. ;^)
