Babe… unfortunately, I won’t be surprised if there’s some culling and some mergers…
Culling? Mergers?
It just doesn’t make sense in this day and age… to have that many of them still up and running…
I think the salaries of the employees, at some point, somebody with an excel spreadsheet is gonna decide these aren’t good enough profit margins for the shareholders…
No other way around it?
I think there’ll be an undeniable Big Three or Four left standing. Because there’s still gonna be luxury marketing… in some shape or form…
In a way Anna Wintour is smart to keep the Met Gala going… and as for the other magazines, I don’t know… or they might only go digital? And then eventually be merged and culled from there? Slowly dying, but surely, yes… maybe…
Wow… so grim…
Especially if they ignore influencers?! 🤷♀️ it’s just no longer sustainable… that’s my personal opinion…
(Sighs)…
I don’t think it affects you? You’ll be fine…
😅😅😅
Or they’re gonna be bought out by streaming channels… merged somehow with the mixed media content… I just don’t think there’ll be much of a physical print run left.
It’s not worth the cost of the logistics…
How do u know?
I know about printing costs… 🤷♀️ it’s not rocket science 😒… if you don’t have mass readership, it doesn’t make sense.
Unless they wanna make them FREE in every luxury store and hotel?! Otherwise, what’s the point?! Who’s physically reading them?! Other than industry insiders? And even they probably don’t have time anymore…
U think it’s all going digital?
I think it’s 90% going digital… already begun, actually…
Hmmm…..
It would make more sense to have a digital presence, and then publish books or collections of fashion coffee table books. As an annual Christmas cash grab type of thing. Or an anniversary limited edition.
It’s a nod to the printing history. That nostalgia for what it’s been…
But the magazine publishing industry… is seemingly dying… in this format… it’s turning into its own relic…
Unfortunately I already wrote a 12,000 words barely passable minor thesis about this in the early 2000s!!!! 😅😅😅
Wow… and then you met me!!!
Yes… and I got distracted 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 LoL… I could’ve done a PhD if you didn’t distract me?!?!??!!?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ROFLMAO!!!!
