Greetings, TSR Subscriber!
You may have noticed a slight change to this week’s email: the term “newsletter” has been dropped, and it’s now simply The Seaboard Review, the same as our Substack site, and social media accounts. Unity of brand, and less confusion for our subscribers.
“Newsletter” connotes a periodic update of news within a business or organization, which is not really what I intended to do with the start of a weekly email from TSR.
The intention was less inbox clutter for you, as you would have received 4 or 5 emails during the week, as I posted new articles. Now, with the weekly (Monday) email, it will reflect what is new at the site, so you can choose to visit any (or all) links. There will still be “news” items as they come along, things that don’t warrant a full article at the site, so consider these as “inside information” for your eyes only. :)
Finances
A quick word about supporting TSR. We have a base of paid subscribers, as well as sponsors of this weekly email, all of which helps us to defray what few expenses we have and give out well-deserved honorariums to our team of volunteer reviewers and contributors. Substack gets 10% of every paid subscription. Recently, some have questioned the financing of the Substack owners in light of some controversial issues, which you can Google for yourself. Of course, they have expenses too, primarily infrastructure and employees. I don’t think they are getting rich off that 10% by any means. Nevertheless, some may be hesitant to support TSR because of this, so I want to let you know that you have options.
Ko-fi: you can choose from one-time donations to a $5/month membership
Patreon: memberships from $3/month on up.
Both are safe and effective ways to get your monetary support to us.
Now on to the good stuff!
