@Mehlachi of times you can read things that would be called newsletters but you don’t subscribe to them. I don’t come in a spam mail. I personally unsubscribe anytime I try to get I accidentally get on one
If I could muster the mental energy to accomplish goals and stuff, I think one of mine for this year would be to audit my email and eliminate all the accidental spam subscriptions I don’t benefit from.
They’re not all spam, since in some way or other I [probably] agreed to them, but I almost never read them, so it’d be better if I simply didn’t get them.
“Inbox zero” is not [presently] realistic for me, but if I could reduce the in-flow it would go a long way to preventing overwhelm.
I subscribe to 1 newsletter. I read it every morning with my coffee. 1440.com daily unbiased news brief. They do a good job of summarizing the big stories from yesterday and there’s always a link if you’d like to explore the story more in depth.
@OnionSoup many of the mags/ newsletters I’m beginning to even cancel the free ones and turn them to 100% digital that way I can delete them and not have to recycle them.
I try to unscribe to a lot of them and move most to digital, but they breed like rabbits. You delete two and three more show up you don’t know where all they all coming from.
The key word is subscribe.
@Cerridwyn I thought it was many

How many newsletters are on mailbait?
The NOYB newsletters.
Newsletters are the clothes hangers of email, they just multiply filling up the inbox.

@xobzoo I try to unsubscribe from at least one every time I truly go through my inbox. Makes the task a little more manageable.
@kewlchick086 @xobzoo I love mags that are digital, so you are using recycled electron then you delete it!
There are a lot of newsletters, some of which were not subscribed to on purpose.

@Nate311 you should check out SlashDot
Understanding AI and then a bunch of food blog newsletters
How many am I subscribed to, or how many have I accidentally subscribed to that I never ever read?
Those are two different questions.

Subscribe, none. Receive, many, mostly related to web sites that I visit. AAA, AARP, VA, golf, among others
Most of them are FREE Trade magazines/ newsletters & yes I also get stuff from AARP & AAA.
