felt inevitable.<p>though I have fondness for and respect for the magazine and it's creators, I've increasingly felt in recent years I could get pretty much the same kind of content on the web "for free" and digitally. I think the bar has been raised in terms of how a magazine can justify being a printed magazine. it needs more strengths and ideally takes better advantage of the physical possibilities and experience of the medium. LJ just wasn't doing that. Going all-digital feels like a smart move, because they can get rid of the bathwater (the costs and limiting factors of the printed magazine medium), but keep the baby (what's good about their content and style, and their fanbase.), and, kick it up a notch (take advantage of all the cool things you can do on the web.) I wish them luck.<p>However, for me personally at least, I have so much free high-quality (enough) web/digital content available I'm confident I won't subscribe to digital LJ anymore either. Too much geektastic info out there already, not enough free time, not enough spare money.<p>(long-time on/off subscriber probably since they started)
