A fun stat: Last week, at the end of the newsletter, I asked if you might be willing to share this newsletter with another streamer! Many of you clearly did because it was the 4th largest single-day subscriber increase since I've been writing these. So, just wanted to thank you all for helping me out. It really means a lot. And to the new people, welcome to the newsletter! Let's just jump right into it!
