Do you still subscribe to newsletters?
Personally, I find it hard to subscribe to newsletters these days because reading them get too burdensome and my mailbox is overcrowded at this point. Is it just me?
What will make you subscribe to a newsletter today?
- QuarterRoy 3y agoNo. My inbox is already hell even with filters and rules. And I love how we were going to not be so independent on email when slack and others came out and now I have to be logged into slack, MS teams, and 2 other apps as well as email due to the different apps adopted by various customers.
- bombcar 3y agoA newsletter that had pertinent and interesting information that I’d’ve not already seen elsewhere by the time it arrives is something I enjoy. I have one - the newsletter for https://www.centipedepress.com/ https://www.centipedepress.com/ Anything tech or major news related I’ve already read heavily about.
- Morieris 3y agoI have only one, Adam Levine's Money Stuff. I don't think I'd be able to handle more newsletters though. I remember subscribing to too many in the past, and eventually filtering them all into the garbage or unsubscribing. As for why this one newsletter stuck, I think it's due to Levine's tone and enthusiasm for the material. And also due to how much garbage is out there when you try to find information on financial markets. It's nice to have a clear signal through the noise.
- activiation 3y agoIt depends what counts as a newsletter...
- PaulHoule 3y agoI don't subscribe to newsletters, instead I developed a smart RSS reader that can ingest a few thousand articles a day and show me just a few hundred.
- pndy 3y agoI never subscribed to any newsletter in all years I'm on the Internet
- daveoc64 3y agoI was surprised when they seemed to make a comeback. They feel like a solution from the 1990s.
- laygir 3y agoUnsubscribing from newsletters is a constant routine for me. But once in a while I do subscribe to one or two on purpose.
- mattbgates 3y agoI do and I receive the emails but as far as "active reading" goes, I might catch a headline here or there and read it, but otherwise, I usually open it or ignore it and delete it.
- wryoak 3y agoI’ll subscribe to a newsletter if I have even the mildest interest in its content. I’ve always used email clients with delete buttons so my inbox has never given me trouble.
- zhte415 3y agoI will subscribe to a newsletter when it provides an RSS feed. Otherwise it's unwanted, intrusive, selfish, invasion of my inbox pushing content rather than allowing orderly pull.
- berkeshire 3y agoYes, if they bring insights. Not merely facts or data. Matt Levine, Farnam Street, James Clear - they add value in their own ways. I dont read every issue though.
- skydhash 3y agoI use an email to RSS service.
- KomoD 3y agoWhich?
- KomoD 3y agoNo, I try to keep my inbox as clean as possible, I prefer websites or RSS for that kind of stuff.
- shortrounddev2 3y agoI never subscribed to newsletters, and email has become totally useless noise to me
