Don’t wanna start any argument about this but I don’t think I ever wanted to read a single email newsletter, whatever it is I want to read, I read it somewhere else.
That’s ok. I subscribed enthusiastically to a bunch of Substack ones last year only to discover that they all were pretty awful save for one. But stuff like The Marginalian and Metafilter and a few others are honestly worthwhile.
That’s what I’m finding too, a lot of them give you just a couple paragraphs and then demand a subscription to keep reading. I’m all for supporting creators but a lot of substacks are so aggressive with it.

With the enshittification of the rest of the internet, I’m starting to welcome simple email and rss feeds.
Fair point. I guess so much of it is spam so I never been exposed to actually worth it newsletter.
