After over 40 years of my dad taking NSSN, when he passed away last year, I didn't renew it. Instead I went with the online version. It's cheaper and doesn't waste paper, but I forget to look a lot of times.
In years past, I subscribed myself when I didn't live in the same town as dad. When I lived in Amarillo, the postman often would deliver mine and someone else's to me. I knew him, so when I would get his, I'd just go put his in his mailbox.
One thing I noticed for decades was the slow delivery. Many times there would be a big ad in there for a race that took place before we saw the ad. I finally figured out it was partially due to the postman delivering when he got good and ready. Complaining helped a little, but not much. I understand that first class delivery was an option, but pretty pricey and I'd already learned to live with the problem.
