Thank you for reading ❤️.
Hello Raiyan, thank you for another interesting issue.
I always find something interesting in your selection and I like your short format. For me focus, works better than extreme variety. You have a lot of sections after the news, but they appeal to very different kinds of people.
Thus for me they are only extra weight, which takes a bit away (each time) from the trust and credibility I would otherwise attribute to you.
My preference would be for less sections and more focus on interesting new tools.
I find not very useful the announcements of things to come or those news that are more press releases than real things and I am completely turned off when you inject, like this time, political/war-related stories like the one on NATO . (For a short moment I thought of unsub, but I chose then to comment and see what your feedback would be).
Keep up the good work Raiyan.
