National Geographic seems to maybe be fizzling out. They just fired their staff writers and I assume will publish articles from freelancers from now on. If it is a sign they are about to go, then good riddance. They've been publishing the exact same global warming articles and assorted commie claptrap over and over, for the last 30 years. Go woke, go broke? I dunno if it is that or just the decline of print media in general, but either way, fugg em. They haven't been worth reading for decades. https://outsider.com/outdoors/news-outdoors/national-geographic-laying-off-all-staff-writers/

They used to put out very interesting articles. Now nothing is more than a 20 second read. Short attention spans now, I guess.

My theory:
When they stopped publishing photos of the topless natives they lost the teenage boy readers. All those teenagers are now grown up and never got in the habit of reading Nat Geo

Several years ago we canceled our subscription because it seemed as if every article had work in some angle of global warming/climate change. An article could be about Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, but there would some reference to global warming on Earth. It got old. 😡

Used to enjoy visiting my school teacher uncle that had a subscription to NG. Those African titties sure got this kid's attention.
Years later I got a free 1 year subscription to the modern leftwing National Geographic. After a few issues I wouldn't even crack a page. Straight in the garbage with your leftist drivel.

Maybe 30 years ago, I bought an NG topo map program from the called Topo!, long since obsolete. It's a collection of all the USGS topo maps for a state put into a program for using them on a computer. I'm still using it a lot but the maps can't updated any more. Luckily, 99% of the time I use it for mountains and desert where updates are rare.
It's made for a 32 bit computer. My current one is 64 bit. It took me a while to discover that it'll work fine if I leave the main CD in the drive while I'm running it.

I had a subscription starting when it was the kids version, later upgraded to the adult version by my grand parents and then I paid for the subscription, after 40+ years I got tired of hearing global warming in everything they published and didn't renew. Now when I find an old copy while going through things, I just toss it. Tossed the Scientific Americans a long time ago also. I'm not paying for propaganda.

Used to subscribe, but 25 or so years ago they “went hard left” so I dropped them.

For a year or two about 15 years ago, I subscribed to Smithsonian magazine because it was kinda like National Geographic but the granola politics were dialed down a little bit. But then they started publishing social justice articles, so that subscription sailed too. I'm not paying for retard hippy political screeching either, if I can help it.

A grouchy old uncle had a garage full of them. We used to sneak in and look at the simi-naked photos of women that adorned the pages when I was a kid. After a while it gets pretty boring. The articles ended up being straight running leftist.

Glad they're not prospering. I loved National Geographic as a kid, real sense of betrayal when I finally realized they'd gone full-blown eco-Marxist by the mid 1990s. A M Fs.

Owned by Disney, which explains a bunch. Shameful example of business acumen being superceded by social agendas.

They can only publish so many articles about "global Warming" . I'll bet everything they write about will always have a tie in with "climate Change". Monkeys being eaten by leopards......Climate change........disease in the Congo.....Climate change......People living in the desert not having enough water......SUVs did it...

It used to be a great magazine. Sad to see they have joined the Climate Change cult.

My middle school had every issue going back to the first. Any of us were free to read them, just not check them out.
