[1]The Value of a "Good Old Newsletter":
From [2]Kai Brach, Publisher of Offscreen magazine and the Dense
Discovery newsletter:
"Funny enough though, the good old email newsletter is currently
experiencing a bit of a comeback. Perhaps as a reaction to the
bottomless, anxiety-inducing social feeds, the email sits patiently
in your inbox until you deem it worthy of your attention. Not able
to read it now? No problem, come back to it later, it's right there
where you left it.
That's why I've always loved email as a medium. Sure, I spend a lot
of time reading and writing them - which arguably is not the most
creatively productive time of my day - but it's still the one
digital medium that abides by my rules (or filters). No sudden
change in algorithm; no YOU-NEED-THIS product plugs; no strangers
chiming in with rude comments. I decide what and when to read.
Perhaps best of all: I can have constructive, civilised
conversations with other people. Imagine that?!"
Amen. And it's a really good time to [3]subscribe to mine.

Nah … I still prefer full-text ATOM RSS over email newsletters. I
prefer summary RSS over email newsletters.
I think if more people knew this option was an option, they'd opt in.
