What paid newsletters are you subscribed to and recommend?

Trends by the Hustle. Extremely high-quality business insights.

Stratechery by Ben Thompson. A strategic overview of big tech.

Trends by the Hustle as well.

This is a compiled list of recs, not just my own. Not in any order:

• The profile by Polina that curates top long form stories of famous people
• The diff by Byrne that discusses inflection points in tech
• A media operator by Jacob that discusses ppl trying to build a media business
• Divinations by Nathan that discusses business strategy, and Superorganizers by Dan that discusses how creative ppl organise. They come in a bundle as well
• And shamelessly self-promoting my own, Avoid Boring People where my goal is to help others avoid boring people. I view paid subs more as a show of support though since I release everything w/o paywall after a lag

Stratechery, the OG.

Forgot i was paying for this one: https://fortheinterested.com/creator-accelerator/

City Hall Watcher — Toronto City Hall news. Matt Elliot is a Toronto gem: he has a way of making civic news interesting.

Canadaland — Independent Canadian journalism. (More of a podcast though.)

Stratechery — I recently re-subscribed when Ben launched Daily podcasts for subscribers. Interested to see if more people newsletters do this!

Trends by the Hustle — Though I won't be re-upping my subscription. The first few issues were interesting but I've stopped reading it. They do a great job but it started to feel like a conveyor belt of trends and insights.
