I was curious to see what would happen if I clicked the "Unsubscribe" button at the bottom of this page, and sure enough, it told me that I unsubscribed. Neat.

  Huh, someone (OP?) will potentially miss the next edition of this newsletter. I just noticed the URL has a lot of parameters, probably for their analytics to identify the subscriber.

    It looks like the URL won't load without both the p (presumably page?) and s (presumably subscriber?) parameters, and there was no other way to share it. I wonder what the point is of having a newsletter that doesn't have an indexed web version. It's just a blog, right? Just one that happens to arrive in your inbox as well. What's the downside of listing the entries on the author's homepage as well, making them available to everyone?

      I have same feeling for multiple email-newsetters I've encountered over the years "why is there no blog-like archive?" it feels like they will be prime example for modern lost media

        Most newsletters I receive do have that!

          but were you signing up for a newsletter - or a subscription to a blog? it's a lot easier to make blog posts and then distribute them by email as well all newsletters I've encountered that advertised as newsletter didn't have blogs, sadly :/
