I thought about this the other day. When i recently moved i decided to get the paper delivered. It was a nice idea but ended up being TOTALLY overwhelming. The amount of time required to sift through and consume only a small part of the paper is insane.
I had only payed some nominal fee 10 dollars for 3 months or something. But i had to call it quits after 2 months. Every paper was 50% adverts and I had unread papers piled everywhere they were taking over.
The romance of the paper is just that. A thing of fiction, because in reality it is just voluntarily delivered spam.

Not entirely fiction. Newspapers used to have fewer ads.
It is kinda sad that their primary revenue stream has become(imo) their biggest negative trait.
