Pay for quality, but understand the tilt. If you really want to, pay for two services with opposing tilts, but equal (high) quality.

They do a junior version for I guess 8-13 year olds too which is doing well too, so that's good. Friend of mine runs a magazine aimed at people who like horses (typically well-to-do female over 35s) with c. 25,000 copies a week pre-covid. It was about 70:30 subscription. Subscription is up a little since covid, but newsstand sales are way down.
