Algos decide what you see. As a person who both makes and consumes content on social media, this is maddening. But this is the world we live in now.

In exchange for your email, I will send you a digest once a month of everything I've made, along with some cool stuff I've found on the internet.

If I'm busy, I forget to send the emails, so it might be an email every other month sometimes.

Either way, I wont spam you. I don't have that kind of time.
