It’s again the era where you and I are starting to have a thing for email inboxes!
Every day we count on online publications, websites we’ve subscribed to, writers who ship out astonishing stories, to help us kickstart our day in a wonderful way.
This wasn’t the same few years back because every one of them began spamming us leveraging at Internet’s inherent potential to keep us connected. Yet we were holding up as we had less or no access to personalize or downsize them in emails. We weren’t left with many preferences though!
Now we’re unfettered to do anything we wish with our mailboxes.
Namely, unsubscribing from the newsletters that least entice us, given an option to reply back to the email which is perhaps read by an actual human in the other end.
The later one almost killed my patience whenever I replied back saying ‘Stop sending emails to me’, hoping somebody picks it up. Though we know it’s still the default email addresses we are receiving from and sending emails to, it’s more curated and well acknowledged nowadays.
Particularly the emails from Zest are fancy, Yam and his team are doing a great job!
Let’s take a spin around my inbox and hunt down great newsletters curated by wonderful human minds. Apparently delivered by an automated inanimate mailman.
Note: I’m restraining this piece to only have the publications that are part of Medium. So kindly do not look forward to finding newsletters of NY Times, WSJ or so.
