At a certain point there was some kind if org doing it, and dropping off Jewish magazines at various doctors offices...I assume that they got old issues from ppl. (There was a sticker on them about kosher literature)It always has fakenews.. just read the John loftus column...
That's more a 1st come first serve.
While here, I have the binah and ready to dispose or whatever you may do with it, and someone asks if they can have it, I will put in a plastic bag on my porch and tell them to come by when it's good for them to come pick it up.
Therefore the person who wanted the paper received it, vs the person who happened to be at the doctor then said ay why not a free paper which maybe if I have time will flip through it.
