Not totally sure why, but I've been enjoying newsletters (though none of the paid via Substack) a lot more lately. The constant flow of news via HN, Twitter, etc. results in a kind of information overload and it's quite easy to just scroll on to the next item. While newsletters are essentially just 'more information', perhaps there's something about a curated set of information that (presumably) has some more thought put into it than the click of a retweet button that makes it more appealing to more completely ingest and engage with.
