I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

      That is tricky. I don’t think I purchase services that are not immediately consumed.

      No Netflix or Spotify. I do get utilities, but I doubt that is your meaning.

      Do you have an example?

        Oil changes, tax preparation, deep tissue message. Paying someone else to do something you don’t want to or can’t do yourself.

          Great, thank you. Those are not what I mean.

          Oil changes result in a receipt and new oil. Tax prep resilts in a receipt and a task completed. Deep tissue message gets a nice feeling and a receipt. None are digital only.

          Paying someone to play music for me does likely fit. It may be a weakness in my thinking.
