They started distributing hard copies again to folks who sign up.

The lack of copies on street corners has a lot more to do with the collapse in print advertising revenues than it does the jokes printed inside.

I actually have a copy that I stumbled across recently at a book store near me. I'm sure it won't be like the old days, but it was really cool to pick a hard copy up while out and about in town.

You can buy hard copies again if you subscribe. They used to give it away free in the 1990s because the world wasn't as hyper-capitalistic and it was practical to publish a free paper and put metal boxes on the street to distribute it while making a modest profit with advertising.
