*sigh* I too am a rationalizer. Well, back in High School I used to buy singles. I was living at home, only had a phone bill and a car insurance bill. Most of my paycheck was comics. In 3 years I amassed 5 longboxes. I have no idea if that's a lot or not because other than the internets no one I know is really down for comics. But since I've gotten to college I've got many more bills each month and possibly a smaller income (damn Film major, can't hold more than a 20 hour a week job). But yeah, i usually buy a trade a week and can't really afford much more. I've decided I refuse to buy floppies anymore. The ads plus the 5 longboxes with incomplete arcs makes archiving seem pointless when I could just get complete stories in nice books. I try and read anything new the university library gets, but to be honest most of it's manga and I'm not really down for that (Hopefully someday they'll get Project X: Cup Noodle). This is really rambling. I'm not making any points.
Ok, I download new weekly issues but really I read a whole lot less on my computer than I did when I bought singles. I used to spend $50-70 a week towards the end of my comic buying days, but now I'm lucky to read 5-7 books a week. I don't know, I read them so much slower on my screen. I mean, what's the alternative solution here? I try and buy Image and indie trades (I bought The King last week. Very cool.) so that my small amount of dollar votes can make the most impact but how could my not downloading things make things better? Until I can find a better paying job or some magical monkey to pay my rent/food/car/utilities/phone/internet then it just means I don't get to read as much and still no one is getting money.
