The media loves shit like this because they don’t want media to be a passive choice. They want to feed it to you. They want to push it deep into your brain. They want flyers, they want certified mail, they want propaganda. Because it is profitable.

Websites are easy to leave, ignore, or forget. They’d have to work for your attention.

Email just shows up.

I mean yeah but at the same time, every email list I've ever been on has ended up in the trash bin and eventually unsubbed. I don't know if I ever read a singe letter.

I have read a number, but as you said, eventually they degrade, generally pretty quickly. It just becomes noise too quickly when the pushers saw (already knew) the opportunity to monetize (i.e. plain old marketing BS)
