I haven't even seen you in my feed in months. I was wondering where you were and I don't get the emails either. Glad you're back.

☺️I never went anywhere. They (Substack) won't promote me. If you choose to receive notifications in your feed or email, you will not see my stuff unless you regularly interact with me. Even then, I am pretty sure they, whoever they are, have a special button they can push. That is why I wish people would receive emails. You really just have to keep checking or accept emails; otherwise, you will not see anything. I know what is going on. I hope it doesn't sound like I am bitter; it is just a reality that I accept. Also, if you want emails, you would have to subscribe to my secondary Substack, because I am getting cut off for emails from Far Side of Fringe too. It will not even go in the spam box. This I realized when I stopped receiving my own newsletter to my own email.

I have my email thing turned on. I have noticed that I am not getting some emails from the publications I like. I have to go into regular inbox or promotions and have even found some in spam and ultimately don't like the AI email management thing that is going on. That in particular may be why people are not getting it.

Yes, I am not even landing in spam, I am in a hard bounce. That is what it is actually called. A hard bounce.

Have you polled to see if it's more one email provider vs stack’s delivery of said email and is there a way to isolate that info even if nobody is responding without having to cross reference, along with us not getting who viewed it vs who liked it vs entire list?

It is hard to determine what has happened. It could be that it was incremental. I ignored that people were not opening my emails for a long time, and they ended up in spam. This killed my reputation. Another issue, I bought a domain, I should not have done that. Substack has a better reputation than any brand new website can have. The other thing was I published a piece called Freedom Incorporated. Since AI probably reads everything before it lands in a box, it may have taken the article literally, it was actually satire. Another situation that may have occurred, someone may have spoofed my email address and destroyed my reputation. It is really hard to pin down. If I had more money and a staff working for me I could probably have prevented all of this, and maybe I could solve it. But that is not likely to ever happen since I provide everything for free and do not use paywalls. ORWELL.
