U.S. digital newspaper ad revenue to surpass print by 2026

Hate to see that happen. I love my quiet time with the morning newspaper and a cup of coffee.
 
While going through old Nintendo games my kids asked what Paperboy was, took far to long to explain.

Son: "So you mean to tell me...some kid rides around on his bike throwing news on peoples driveways - when they could just look it up on their phone?"
@Shawnd: "But we didn't have the internet back then."
Son: "What?! But...but...how did you know what everyone was eating for dinner? How did you know about people's recent vacations?!"
Shawnd: :cautious:
 
I guess somebody pays attention to digital advertising. My brain just tunes it out and I couldn't tell you a single add I have seen digitally. On the other hand I tend to remember direct mail adds, at least for a while. You have to handle them, read them and decide if they are important.

I handle them just enough to confirm they are unimportant and then to dump them in the paper recycling bin.
 
With the industry the way that it is these days, I feel like if it’s anything at all with ink on paper - it’s important, alright.

But you had to confirm that they weren't important. You don't even need to do that with electronic ads. You can ignore them alltogether.

I should have been more clear. I just see that it's direct mail and into the recycler it goes.
