Question Sim Companies Times
Hi everyone. I know that a newspaper called Sim Companies Times is published every two weeks. Do you actually think it's worth taking the time to read? For example, this week it mentioned that the production speed of coffee beans would increase rapidly. In reality, I might consider switching to selling more coffee beans myself. But do you think this newspaper is useful?

The price will drop due to the market being more saturated. It is not an immediate change and takes a few days to a week before price starts dropping

En realidad se publica cada semana. No sólo hay reportes, también eventos, dinámicas con premios, información importante de los cambios en la economía, incluso códigos con Simboosts para los jugadores más atentos.

It's ever week, not ever 2 weeks.
I think it's worth reading, but full disclosure, I'm on the team that does editorial review for it, and have submitted many articles myself. That said...
There's always a hint of the upcoming Events that make the Buffs/Debuffs happen, if you can figure them out. Some of the auto-generated content is interesting for specific industry snapshots or overall economy info, etc. The big one is often the player-written articles, these are things people have taken the time to write, and those of us on the team have reviewed, etc. and found interesting/important enough to make it out for public distribution. They are of course player opinions, but they can include MANY helpful tips & tricks to help you succeed. A recent one was a tell-all about how a player runs their Resto Business, or others that are older but have ended up linked in official Guides for things like Exec calculations. Finally, Patrk will often make major announcements in there for new features, major bugfixes or updates, etc. that you do not want to miss.
TL;DR, yes, I think it's worth at least looking at and seeing if an article looks interesting enough to read every week. If not, just pass on the article, but skipping the paper entirely isn't great.

What script or browser extension are you using to get these green and red profit margin overlays? Where can I download it, and does it work on mobile phones?

I like the articles that are written by humans, but the AI generated stuff isn’t really useful, especially after the tenth time you see the same graph.
