As you can see, mainstream anything is losing its grip. The demise of the monoculture was even worse for print and broadcasting than the DVD crash was for Hollywood. You can see it at any news rack and any gas station. Now every publisher is experiencing the almost suicide of the entire German comic industry minus Egemont (because they had the most popular titles every dingus there associated with the medium). If this gonna be a massacre like in the 90s, the affected kind of publications could be practically gone for good. There will be no Shueisha to strong arm the editors into doing what is good for their companies*. There is also no interest in Spiegel but based. Look at the sales numbers for Focus. Most people don't give a shit about those publications. With prices from 22 €urios to up to like 31 they are also a huge drain on your wallet. The same money gets you hardcover book. Same goes for any newspaper. Nobody wants walls of text from Libtards for their fellow travelers except other Payoku. No, that one Lolbert rag is not a gift from gawd to the Krauts. This is usually read by Lolberts. No, no, no. The new hot shit among bloggers and social media is this dingus. It has been founded by a PE Teacher and Bush supporter of all people. The only thing that ain't dying in print are special interest magazines.














* In the example I am alluding to its make a thing and sell it multiple times. A shounen title like Onepiece or Dragonball can be published once and sold multiple times to generations of teens. Just like fucking Asterix.

Before that it was usually make a thing and sell it exactly once, because every boomer nerd in Germany got his one specific Franco-Belgian comic.
