@benedictevans You did. But my impression is that your argument was more about newsletter market saturation because (among the other things) of too many writers.
Here I’m making the case for a cognitive overload in managing too many subscriptions (no matter what’s the thing you are paying for)
Very interesting thoughts on building a sustainable business as an individual writer publishing a newsletter (and in comparison with being an ad-supported blogger) and on the future of newsletters by @benedictevans.

@benedictevans I said very many times that I don’t believe paid newsletters are a viable business for most people. While some of the content in this post aligns with it, it doesn’t touch on a point that I think it’s very relevant: “subscription fatigue”.
@Ofcom I couldn’t find the most recent data for the US, or global. If you have it, please share it.
From the June 2021 Online Nation report published by @Ofcom on the habits of UK citizens online.
The more time we spend online, the less time for other activities. 3h37min online means 3h37min we don’t have to read books. Are we compromising our ability to learn deep topics? https://t.co/BKJZDfzjck
@RamsHornStudios @doctorow In my understanding, Plex doesn’t allow yet to stream 3rd party services like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc. If/when they will do (possibly thanks to the last round of funding), I see no guarantee that they will not act in the same way via their OnDemand service.
Unsurprisingly. At this point, I’d like to know what TV manufacturers or streaming stick vendors does NOT spy on their customers. https://t.co/xFZUaIbxQF

.@benedictevans: “2010-2019, YCombinator alone backed 1,561 US companies…In the total US market, the NVCA reported 32,000 companies raising their first funding. This, really, is the context for those 400 US GAFAM acquisitions.”
