I read newsgroups. Hundreds of thousands of people do. In fact, there are probably more people "on" Usenet today than ever before.
That being said, Usenet is less popular than the Web because it takes an extra step or two to access newsgroups (finding/deciding on a news reader, entering your news server info, searching for newsgroups, etc.) than it does to click an Internet Explorer shortcut on the desktop and click away or type something into the address bar. Also, of course, newsgroups are less "exciting" than Web pages (no images or audio except in binaries groups, etc.).
