People are too street smart today to subscribe to something site unseen.

    Sorry, I don’t mean to sound rude but if you could please rephrase that as I have no idea what you mean?

      How about

      there is a "landing page" with no content. Just a big X. And a big ask -- you want me to let you spam me.

      If you are showing a content free page for people to ask to get spammed what makes me think that you're going to spam them with anything worthwhile.

      Hundreds of other pages will be submitted to Hacker News today and most of them have some content, and this is the only one that "has no content" and has somebody with the gall to ask for clarification about what that means.

      The only clue I have to the content is the cluelessness of the landing page.

      I don't want to get A.I. content that is too vacuous (the "I don't know what A.I. is but doesn't it have something to do with 5G... No, no, the purpose of 5G is for XR") or too detailed (e.g. what is the derivative of the tanh function?)

      Everybody else feels the same way, but the exact boundaries are different. Letting people see the content first lets them decide if they are interested or not. If I can't see it, I know I am not interested.

        You are being a bit harsh. If you click the link it literally takes you to the first issue of the newsletter. It probably took you more effort to write that than making the effort to click the link to see what it is about, you literally can see the issue via the link without submitting your email address so there is no spamming involved. Perhaps read up on how newsletters work before accusing me of spamming people? And yes perhaps my landing page is not great, it’s just a temporary thing that I did and I am working on a more detailed version of that site.
