Sort of had this debate in a different hobby over a decade ago.

Small branch of a bigger hobby, club put out a monthly newslatter/magazine.
One of the leaders was very into computerizing everything.

Not that that was bad, his electronic catalogs included album page software so you could arrange a catalog as you wanted it. And they do small catalogs for super specialized stuff.

But they wanted to make the newsletter electronic only. "Oh, it costs too much to print and mail" - Yeah, that's what I'm paying the yearly dues for.
"It will be better electronically." Ummmm..... how? More actual content? (The print one was sometimes not much more than recaps of meetings and a scoreboard of sorts as to who had how many of the primary finite "set"

I wrote a letter they published about how I learned most of what I know from buying a nearly complete run of newsletters. And that while most people think the internet is forever, it's more ephemeral than most things.
And the main point, that if it's worth knowing it's worth committing to print.

They went electronic, with even less content than before... and I sort of drifted away from that niche. Still get some, as they come my way and are usually super cheap (sub $1 )
