Are Email newsletters just a worse version of RSS feeds?

It Feels like every blog and tech site pushed hard for newsletter signups over the last few years.

While newsletters are great for creator monetization they end up completely wrecking my email inbox.

Mixing personal receipts and work emails with long form blog articles makes it hard to focus on either. An unread RSS counter feels much less overwhelming than 50 unread emails sitting in a primary inbox.

I'm considering moving back to a dedicated feed reader just to get my inbox back under control.

How do you keep your daily content consumption separate from your regular work email?
