Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Does anyone have an explanation for why Millennials would consume the most physical press out of all the demographics?

[–] lazzerot@startrek.website 11 points 4 months ago

Just a guess, but I assume magazines are part of physical press. I know a lot of millenials (according to this definition of millenial) who buy magazines for their interests, be it music, games, geology, astronomy or history. A lot of times it overlaps with having been in tertiary education and I assume Gen Z would show similar statistics if you asked someone who was pursuing a masters degree or a doctorate.

It's the hipster thing to do

I think this chart is %change from before covid to after covid. This chart doesn't say they are consuming most physical but they have increased the amount of physical media since covid. But then why no negative percentages?

Maybe I'm confused 😕

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It is the percentage of people that have started (or increased) consuming that type of content. So 19% of millennials started consuming (more) physical media. It says nothing about the millennials that stopped or consume less or the same as they did before.

Thanks i understand now. These graphs could definitely be a little more clear.

Edit: i actually looked again, and it does explain what its showing, i just think i and others have already glanced past the writing after all the other information at the very top.

Elder millenial,

I like physical books as a way to disengage with with the digital, which I am almost always using otherwise in some form or fashion . Maybe that's it?
