un grand news newsletter scandal!

If you subscribe to BuzzFeed News daily newsletter, you already know that Elamin Abdelmahmoud’s sign-offs are maybe one of the few pure things left on this charred digital hellscape…

(So much so that BF is making t-shirts out of them!!! Because what are we if not a monetization machine duh)

BUT LISTEN, there’s imitation as flattery, and then there’s the NYT’s  “New York Today” daily newsletter, which — since its recent redesign — has been also signing off in a suspiciously s i m i l a r note…

^^from today

^^from yesterday

So, in conclusion…

We may or may not want to start a fight about this. stay tuned!!!
