I agree with that too - I was happy to get this, because it reminded me of a sub I think is really high quality and has super interesting threads, that I know you all put what I think is an impressive amount of effort in maintaining quality within.

I said it'd be better if it were to be opt-in with my answer here[1] and the same in the survey, but then I actually read this whole post (should have done in the first place), and realized that it's not really something that can be done outside of a sticky post which again I think tons of people would simply overlook.

It's a tricky thing I suppose, but as many as might be bummed out by an unsolicited newsletter - it could easily be outweighed by people like me. I think it would definitely bring me over here more often, since I don't usually look at all the subs I'm subscribed to but just kind of rely on either whats shows up on my front page or general searches. I thought it was notable that a number of people seemed to say it reminded them in a positive way of this sub, and that they'd kinf of forgotten they were subscribed, so perhaps that would be the main reaction - I don't know.

Anyways, those are my two cents. Thumbs up either way for the effort you all put into this great sub! 👍
