there's a solution to 'inbox stuffed with shit' and thats to set up an RSS reader (i spin my own 'freshrss' for free but there are plenty of solutions like feedly or inoreader) and add all these substacks/beehivs/etc to that, categorize. then whenever you feel like it, visit your page and calmly and quietly read all of these. if i have them emailed to me i find a sense of anxiety at an unread email, and i don't want that.
Thanks for putting this together! Super helpful for how I plan out future coverage on my own projects.
It's interesting how there's a gendered split re: niche+depth vs more parasocial+service+snackable. Small sample size etc. but notable nonetheless.
I'm curious, what was the format for the actual discussion? Like a google doc? Or was there a zoom or something.
I think one thing is a bit too one-dimensional, it is helpful to add four things for a better picture. :)
I post (very occasionally!) about ceramics on here. This conversation has given me a lot to think about, maybe I should worry less and post more 🏺😀

I’ve always wanted to write a newsletter in my dog’s voice so can you thank Katy for giving me the push I needed! 🙌
