There are lots of great niche magazines out there still printing if you have the money. I run a magazine encyclopedia so I see a lot of things coming across my screen and I'm actually floored by the number of magazines still printing.
- sturza 3y agoCan you share a link?
- fuzztester 3y agoSeconded. That encyclopedia would be quite interesting to see.
- MarceColl 3y agoI'd like to know as well

- amelius 3y agoPlayboy is fundamentally different because of the buyer's shame that doesn't exist on the internet where buyers feel more comfortable making a naughty purchase. (Of course in reality, more people are watching you on the internet.)
- krallja 3y agoShoutout to Trade Journal Cooperative, which curates and delivers a trade journal to their subscribers every quarter. I stopped reading the journals as closely, but I still read the cover letter every quarter, since 2020. https://www.tradejournalcooperative.com/ https://www.tradejournalcooperative.com/
- dfc 3y agoSounds like it could be neat or a total miss. I'm curious what some of the past journals have been?
- krallja 3y agoI don’t remember the exact journals, but I remember these trades being covered: Semiconductors Tractor-trailer maintenance Wedding venues Private investigators

- dfc 3y agoThis comment is oddly reminiscent of the other "shout-out" to the journal: "This is a great chance to give a shout-out to the Trade Journal Cooperative https://www.tradejournalcooperative https://www.tradejournalcooperative com/ -- not web sites, but it actually delivers paper magazines from interesting industry verticals. Everything from bowling alleys to semiconductors. Also, the covering letter from the editor is wryly observed and usually witty." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34096833 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34096833 Are you affiliated?
- krallja 3y agoNo. I am a subscriber to the Coop, and I am not ewilderj. There’s not much else to say about it. It’s like $15, and you get a stamped manila envelope filled with a cover letter explaining the choice of the quarter and a magazine.
- dfc 3y agoI'm curious what some of the trade journals have been. What was the latest journal?
