Happy Saturday, Streamers!

Sorry for the spontaneous weekend email! The last week has been pretty chaotic and I never had a chance to send out a newsletter at our usual Tuesday afternoon time slot.

Life has just been wrecking my schedule lately. Several really important things came up all at once and I had to prioritize them hurriedly.

While I was busy putting out fires, my Twitter feed was filled with some fires of its own. I feel like we got three weeks worth of news in the span of one week. Everything from MrBeast and Ava Tyson to Cody Ko and Sneako. I definitely haven’t had the space to write about everything happening, but know that I’m aware, I’m following updates, and I’ll hopefully have some thoughts to share soon.

On a more positive note, I’ll be celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary in a few days. I’m going to go right ahead and let you know that next edition of the newsletter will either be late or none existent. All focus will be on celebrating another milestone with my beautiful wife. But don’t worry, I’ll for sure be back the following week.

When I am back in August, I’ll be including our first official newsletter sponsor through the Beehiiv Ad Network. If you aren’t aware, Beehiiv is the platform I use to write and manage this newsletter. They have many creator-first features, one of them being an Ad Network that connects sponsors with newsletter creators like me. I got a few different offers, but most of them didn’t feel like a good fit for readers like you. You may notice me test one or two over the next month since this is the first time I’ve received this many offers. I’d love to know you’re thoughts on the ads when you see them!

Enjoy a condensed newsletter and sorry for the late send!

Have a great weekend,

Dim
