Goodbye to blog newsletters by email: this service is moving to Telegram and WhatsApp

I am publishing these lines to inform you of the cancellation of this blog's email newsletters, which had been running since June 2021.

New channels and some changes of Counting Stars on Telegram and WhatsApp
Counting Stars: 8.6 million reasons to thank its readers for 2025

Counting Stars and its various sections have a total of over 4,000 email subscribers. It's a free service for subscribers, but not for me. Besides the cost of maintaining it and the immense amount of work involved in setting it up, sending up to six newsletters a day is no easy feat. Furthermore, I've had to deal with constant spam problems, with periodic attacks aimed at flooding the subscriber lists with fake accounts.

This is a blog run by a single person and operated entirely with my own resources. Counting Stars receives no grants or funding from any organization. It also has no advertising revenue. It's a non-profit initiative, which I maintain simply because I enjoy writing about the topics I cover in my articles. In its almost 22 years, this blog has come a long way and it's time to streamline it a bit so it doesn't consume more of my time and resources than I can handle.

Thank you for your support and attention, everyone who has subscribed to these newsletters, especially those who have been kind enough to read the content that arrived in your email inboxes daily. From now on, you can continue to receive the latest blog updates through the Counting Stars channels on Telegram and WhatsApp (I especially recommend Telegram, as I've had censorship issues with WhatsApp). There were six active newsletters; below are the equivalent channels where you can receive the same information daily:
