Newsletters feel like a step (or more like a plunge) back from subscribing to websites via RSS feeds. And yet this seems to be the direction that technology is moving in.
I’ve chosen not to subscribe to certain blogs simply because I don’t want to place my email address in more hands who have no incentive to care about my privacy.
- dddddaviddddd 8y agoA catch-all email address + filtering works for me.
- monksy 8y agoI don't subscribe to newsletters because I have no trust in how much it's going to send to me, weither or not they'll be worth having, and I value my privacy. Instead, I use RSS daily. Whether it's for the blogs or it's with podcasts.
- guybedo 8y agoif you don't want to give your email address or fill your inbox with newsletters, you can get them in your RSS feeds. I just added this feature a few weeks ago to the RSS reader i built (https://aktu.io/about https://aktu.io/about). Right now there's a few hundreds newsletters you can subscribe to, i'm adding new ones every day, and suggestions i welcome :-) You can subscribe to a newsletter as you would add a RSS feed, it's gonna showup in your folders, no need to give your email address.
- eppsilon 8y agoFeedbin [1] (a RSS service like Google Reader) lets you subscribe to newsletters and have the emails show up in your reader like regular posts. 1. https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsletters-in-feedbin/ https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl...
