Hello and welcome to my first-ever readers poll. It’s a poll for my readers!
I enjoy writing a newsletter, but this thing basically has no structure or theme, which you’ve probably realized if you’ve read more than one post. I’ve written about movies, TV, and books, but food and cooking, as well as the zoo, the mall, my dog, the internet, and “current events.”
I have no idea what people who subscribe to this are interested in reading, aside from my friends and family, who are supportive and would read my review of a glass of water if I wrote it. My most popular post by a huge margin is called “When eggs taste too much like eggs,” but I suspect most of those views come from people googling “why do do eggs sometimes give me the ick?”
Other than that, my most successful ones have been about random stuff, like my obsession with names or the decline of journalism. Obviously, I’m not in this for the numbers, and I can’t imagine making money off of it, but it would be nice to know what people like!
If you answered this poll, I think it could be cool for everyone involved! If you have any further ideas or suggestions…lmk.
Here is a photo of my dog for your contribution (you can ONLY look at this photo if you answered the poll!!)
I am so far behind on substack that I missed the poll completely. But since I looked at the dog picture - and showed it to my wife too - I feel an obligation to cast 2 votes for All Of The Above. I promise I will do better keeping up moving forward.
I enjoy the randomness.
