People who do zines... how does it differ from blogging or tumblr culture? Is it just a hipster throwback to late 80s or something? I like the “underground” vibe, but don’t quite get it. It’s not like there’s a reason for undergroundness like samizdat. So, it’s about community?

main value comes from the offline communities they circulate in (at least in my experience in punk/hardcore). people don’t go to church and read from a bible app

There's a lot of zinester cultures. For radical political spaces it's a legacy of needing very cheap print-on-demand books and distributed physical archives that can survive repression, with the benefit of obliging physical space bookfairs & infoshops.https://github.com/rechelon/zine_library …

Radical subcultures often 1) are able to reduce 8.5x11 print costs to zero via scamming, hookups, etc, 2) prioritize the ritual of shared space, 3) know that paper has benefits over screens, 4) often need to distribute hundreds small books at once.

I think you should mail vinyl 45s. Or arrays of QR codes.

Or Twine apps on floppy.
