@jason genius idea to essentially do a 'kickstarter model' to get people to subscribe to email lists before deciding whether to launch them or not.

@_jacksmith @jason My intuition says people don't subscribe to newsletters just because it's on a topic they're interested in, but because they vibe with the unique perspective coming from the human(s) behind it.
If I were running this, I'd put a face and a name next to each newsletter and recruit an awesome person to "own" each newsletter. Each newsletter would also get it's own branding and voice. I'd basically build the Vox Media of newsletters.
Curious to hear what you think about this idea, @Jason!

@nbashaw @_jacksmith @jason I totally agree to that. I subscribe to newsletter above all because of the unique perspective of a person.

@nbashaw @_jacksmith that's on the roadmap... if we have 1,000 folks subscribed to the topic we can actually just ask them: 'who would you like to write this?' // or we could put 10 people on the page and say 'vote / nominate who should write this!' -- lots of potential to crowd source the editors!

@jason @nbashaw it's probably easier to get an influencer for a topic once you have a 1k+ audience already

@nbashaw @_jacksmith @jason Agreed. Purely topic based newsletters are not of interest to me. Unique perspective of a specific person is.
