Deep dives
The Newsletter Bubble and Its Deflation
In 2023, the newsletter industry experienced a significant shift, moving away from the trend of standalone newsletter businesses being viewed as easy ventures. Early in the year, many believed they could replicate successful examples, such as the quick rise of Milk Road, without understanding the complexities involved. The rise of artificial intelligence newsletters, driven by the launch of ChatGPT, led to a saturation of similar content as creators rushed to capitalize on the trend. This influx ultimately diminished the visibility and success prospects for newly created newsletters, reinforcing the idea that scalability in this niche is fraught with challenges.
