None, ever. I never subscribe to newsletters. I hate spam. I subscribed to newsletters in the past to only regret my decision because it was used to funnel spam/ads and annoy me with meaningless updates.

I would appreciate a common spec where packages could ping new releases, something like rss I could then subscribe to and get new release notifications with a changelog.

But mail is something where I don't want spam. Email is for important messages and invoices. I'm trying to keep that space clean.

Stratechery. I've been a subscriber since 2016.

In the last couple years Ben added a private podcast stream with audio versions of his newsletters, which has been a huge quality of life improvement for me. I wish more newsletters did this, I would happily pay more.

Keeping up on reading newsletters was fine when I used to travel a lot, but now (with kids, post-COVID) I generally just consume the audio version while driving, working out, etc.
