"In the end, if you really enjoy reading short science fiction and want to see it continue, you ought to subscribe to the magazines that publish it"
I agree. I figured Scifi.com would pull out sooner or later because it was only promotional material for them. Moreover, inadvertently, because of scifi and its high quality (high writer-pay) at no cost to the reader, a number of readers quit subscribing to print journals. I thought this a shame (not shameful, for who could blame them if finances were tight?). Let's hope Datlow gets a new job, and the print subscriptions go back up.
