Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.

I got a playboy with an interview with Seinfeld in it for my birthday as a kinda gag gift a couple years ago. Good condition considering it was from the mid 90s. The interview was 27 pages long.

There were only 12 pages of nudes in the whole thing.

If people are buying it for the nudes they're owning themselves.

Pretty sure they haven't given a poo poo about Playboy as a magazine since the 90s. Playboy exists primarily as a billion dollar brand selling everything under the sun and the magazine is around only to slightly remind people of the brand. Which is exactly why they pull dumb PR moves no one cares about to get people talking like putting vaginas back in because literally no one buys the magazine ever.

I bought a storage unit yesterday and there was this locked leather container. Like something a laywer might carry alot of papers in.
Undid the clasps and it was full of mid to late 90s Playboys.

When I was a kid, I found a stack of Hustlers from the 70s. Some were from the first year.
Now, 70s Hustler was GOOD. 90's HUstler was terrible.

Nah, the 2017 equivalent is some 12 year old kid getting linked porn on Instagram by his friends or just innocently typing BIG TITS into Google.
