Out of curiosity, must you subscribe to all magazines within your favorite genre(s), or is just one or two acceptable? If the latter, then I don't think you have to be rich.

I think there's an analogy with the maddening offer of streaming services, but in that case there's the FOMO effect and you "need" to be watching the same shows as your coworkers and friends in order to be able to discuss them... a more devious trap.

That was sort of my point. If only one or two are acceptable, Clarkesworld's never going to make the cut.

I'm wondering for whom it is their first or second choice.
