Do you ever see big tech changing email? They effectively control most inboxes. Google already creates “promotions” tab. They keep making it more and more difficult for small MTAs to stay out of the spambox or blackhole them. How long until Google ads a way to pay to get out of promotions and back into the inbox? The protocol is open, so there is some protection there, but, effectively most people rely on a big tech firm for their email. Maybe I’m just too pessimistic these days. I agree with this article btw, I just hope email can remain the haven it currently is.
This and text superiority over audio/video. I’m like a LLM that prefers markdown format with raw text. Recently I turn podcasts, interviews to transcripts and use those LLMs to extract the information that’s interesting to me.
Another great idea delivered to my inbox. This one even lured me onto Substack to say something about it.
Bless, Substack fusing publishing, email and social makes me irrationally happy to write again, glad you're part of the community

Makes no sense for them to do that really, it's your inbox
Excellent post Adam.
