Newsletters are like any other business: initially there will be an obscene number of them, and over time - a year, perhaps - the number will drop off because of a lack of commitment and interest. Then the number will drop again - easily by fifty percent. By the end of three years those left will either be published by avowed masochists who have nothing else to do with their free time or worthwhile efforts.
I would like to believe that the newsletter model will learn from the failures that have become before, including Fakebook and Twitter: they will have a quality standard and they will promote and advocate for quality content instead of incoherent, poorly written screeds based solely on partisan politics.
