Support tech creators

I'm aware that as developers—or as tech enthusiasts—we're picky about subscribing to newsletters.

Here's the harsh reality:
1) Running a newsletter has some costs.
2) Advertisements are the primary means to cover newsletter costs.
3) A key metric for advertisers is the subscriber count.

There are other metrics involved, and also, for example, in the case of shortruby.com, many who chose to place an ad within it did so also to support the newsletter. Which is amazing, and I am so grateful to them.

I encourage you to subscribe to a newsletter if you enjoy it. 
The same applies to podcasts YouTube channels, or blogs. 

Support the creators when you can. RSS is also a good option; just be aware that it does not appear in the stats.
