The use of the word "subscribe"
Hi
Do native speakers use the word subscribed as an adjective?
Are you subscribed to Time Magazine?
I am aware that the typical use of the word would be:
"Do you subscribe to Time Magazine?"
...but I suppose ever since the websites have become rampant, the use of "be subscribed to something" has been "in vogue".
Please let me know what you think.

It's getting more common, I suppose. I would say: Are you a subscriber to Time?
