They are a solution people took back in the day to self publish. Publishing company’s act like moderators did back in the day. They rejected this arbitrarily and gate kept what people saw. So people would create zines of their interests and leave them all over town. Some became super popular
But we’re in a digital world. Using paper in a digital age is like bringing a horse to Nascar. The left is hung up on this romanticized vision of coffee shop activism. It’s destroying us. Those solutions worked for the time they existed in.

This is pretty much what I had in mind. Circumvent censorship, and put paper directly into everyone’s hand.
