Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:I don't wanna be "old man on the internet" BUT RSS feeds are great for project updates, blogs, newsletters, and stuff like that. We really should all band together and use them widely. Make it a thing that everyone does. I don't want to hand my email out to everyone and clutter up my inbox. I don't want to have to remember to check your page every day for updates, and I don't have the time for all that either.If what you are doing is about getting the word out or talking about whatever you're passion is or having whatever you create out there to actually be seen by real people, to be useful or interesting to them, put it in a feed. If you are just using the content for engagement farming or bringing clicks to your page or to get eyes on ads, then I really don't want to read it anyway I guess.<a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/rss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RSS</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/newsletters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewsLetters</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/projectupdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProjectUpdates</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/blogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blogs</a>

Robert KingettI love my email client because I've set all my emails to Plain text view and haven't looked back since. I also never have to see badly formatted newsletters again! Now, I get emails that say this, which is honestly more than fine by me! I'd rather get this then some badly formatted email.However, your email software can't display HTML emails.

Matthew ReinboldMore from therebooting piece:"The inbox is now as crowded as the Facebook feed once was, and publishers who built their businesses purely on newsletters are starting to face the same challenges that upended the traffic arbitrage models of the 2010s."As a (niche, bespoke, backwater) newsletter writer since 2015, I have to admit that the statements match my observations, but that is still damn depressing. <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/newsletters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newsletters</a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/writingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingLife</a>

Matthew ReinboldSimilar sentiment on therebooting this morning:"Newsletters are a commodity. The number of newsletters is growing faster than the number of readers. Platforms like Beehiv have democratized access to sophisticated tooling, but most newsletters lack true audience affinity.""-newsletters are a channel, not a business."*sigh Creatives are drowning in channels.

Matthew Reinbold"The internet has made it so that no matter who you are or what you do — from 9-to-5 middle managers to astronauts to housecleaners — you cannot escape the tyranny of the personal brand."I am taking advantage of this liminal moment in the work calendar to do my sense making and reflect on last year's writing. I keep coming back to this post: <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/2024/2/1/24056883/tiktok-self-promotion-artist-career-how-to-build-following" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.vox.com/culture/2024/2/1/24056883/tiktok-self-promotion-artist-career-how-to-build-following</a><a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/amWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amWriting</a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/socialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialMedia</a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/writingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingLife</a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/newsletters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newsletters</a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/linkedIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linkedIn</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The most popular writers on Substack earn up to seven figures each year primarily by persuading readers to pay for their work. The newsletter platform’s subscription-driven business model offers creators different incentives than platforms like Facebook or YouTube, where traffic and engagement are king. In theory, that should help shield Substack from the wave of click-courting AI content that’s flooding the internet. But a new analysis shared exclusively with WIRED indicates that Substack hosts plenty of AI-generated writing, some of which is published in newsletters with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.The AI-detection startup GPTZero scanned 25 to 30 recent posts published by the 100 most popular newsletters on Substack to see whether they contained AI-generated content. It estimated that 10 of the publications likely use AI in some capacity, while seven “significantly rely” on it in their written output. (GPTZero paid for subscriptions to Substack newsletters that are heavily paywalled.) Four of the newsletters that GPTZero identified as using AI extensively confirmed to WIRED that artificial intelligence tools are part of their writing process, while the remaining three did not respond to requests for comment.Many of the newsletters GPTZero flagged as publishing AI-generated writing focus on sharing investment news and personal finance advice. While no AI-detection service is perfect—many, including GPTZero, can produce false positives—the analysis suggests that hundreds of thousands of people are now regularly consuming AI-generated or AI-assisted content that they are specifically subscribing to read. In some cases, they’re even paying for it."<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/substacks-writers-use-ai-chatgpt/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/substacks-writers-use-ai-chatgpt/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Substack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Substack</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Newsletters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newsletters</a>
