Blame the paper.
Thus the reason to use plastic.
Much less degradation over time and easily printed upon.
Make the pages thicker than the noodle wrappers (about the same thickness as paper) and they're just as good.
No silverfish either, which is a good thing.

And then there was the nihilist art period where they purposely wrote their magazines on paper that would quickly degrade. Insane.

Eewwww how I cringe when I see a silverfish! I have got to finish going through my last 4 boxes of papers, I’m dreading what I may find.
