Its sad, but ever since they were bought by Fox in 2016 their magazines stopped being about science, culture, travel and history and instead started pumping out basically bathroom reading for grandparents. Angels, ghosts, jesus, pirates, more jesus, etc etc

I had no idea that happened, what a sad thing to hear. I haven't read it in a while obviously, but my child is getting close to the age I was when I discovered it and Scientific American. I'm sad I won't get to share National Geographic with them.
