I would love to kill the newsletter. I love RSS. I perceive most newsletters as spam. Except:
- non tech saavy users don't know what RSS is and often won't use a RSS reader even after tutoring.
- newsletter still makes a LOT of cash. I didn't believe it, but working in the adult industry teached me that many things I would never do (read a news letter, click a ridiculous add, engage with an obviously fake profile) is actually common practice among the vast majority of users.
- petercooper 10y agoI perceive most newsletters as spam. You primarily receive newsletters you didn't actually sign up for? (stores you bought stuff off, etc.) That's the only way it's spam. But there are plenty of people who actively sign up for and appreciate them.
- CaptSpify 10y agoWhen every website uses black-design to "helpfully" sign you up for their newsletter without you noticing, it gets harder and harder to differentiate actual newsletters that I signed up for, vs plain old spam. When in doubt, mark-as-spam it is.
- sametmax 10y agoI never sign up for newsletter, but I still receive plenty that I have to manually opt out.
