Alice, if you don’t mind answering, are you saying that Substack contacted you about this? Saying: “Unless you remove subscribers who aren’t responding, we’ll do it for you.”

I’ve just never heard of that before.

Also, I never receive emails from newsletters on Substack; I have emails turned off and read all posts in my Substack inbox. If someone were to cull subscribers who don’t open emails, I would be cut (even though I read nearly every post of every publication that I subscribe to).

Writing a newsletter is toughening up my hide—refining my response to the flurry of Unsubscribe notifications that follow every post. I am learning to wish them well and to understand that it is better for them to move on if my content is not their cup of tea.
