If you're interested in email newsletters (and you know I'm interested in email newsletters) you'll enjoy this post. The best bit, though, is at the very end: "A lot of things on Substack are less newsletters than a blog that gets sent to you by email. When I think of quote unquote 'newsletters,' it's more of an editorial product with some sort of a template and some sort of utility, versus just a place where you can put your writing." That's what OLDaily is supposed to be. It's opinionated, sure (that's what distinguishes me from the algorithms), but if it's not informative, if it's not keeping you up to date in a very complex field, if it's not useful, it's not serving its purpose.
