I'm not sure I follow you here, can you elaborate on what you mean?

The New Yorker has long form articles that take longer to read than the typical daily newspaper article, sure, but I'm not sure how that makes it non finite or more engaging than daily newspapers.

Every subscriber has an endless stack like this in one or more rooms of their home or apartment: https://www.google.com/search?q=stack+of+unread+new+yorkers&...

They don't throw them out because they really intend to finish them one day.
