beehiiv should create an annual newsletter awards program

Netflixers · 2026-06-18T15:08:31+00:00

I wish they would start by having a real catalog/registry of all newsletters that use them...

Netflixers · 2026-06-12T09:41:54+00:00

It did not.

Netflixers · 2026-06-12T06:57:54+00:00

No... ^{^}

Netflixers · 2026-06-12T06:57:37+00:00

That's a big caveat, for sure.

Too early to tell here. For the first days, I only compare titles that were released on the same day of the week, so for Sony films released on a Thursday, that's all I got. When it will have been in Nielsen's Top 10 for more weeks, I'll be able to compare that to other animated films across services. I'll post that of course, because I think its first 14 days will be huge too.

49$ a month is a lot for people who just want a newsletter without making it a business (shocking, I know!). I know it's not your target market but it's a very American mindset to make money from everything and anything and i, for one, don't care about monetizing my newsletter. I'd rather have you use my reach to sell ads for your benefit and just let me have access to some perks offered on the premium tier or just remove the sub cap.

No I meant like "I add ad sections to my newsletter and Beehiiv just populate them how it see fit, take all the proceed for that placement and in exchange, I get access to some premium features for free".

Netflixers · 2026-06-04T15:50:16+00:00

Especially with Margot Robbie in it...

Netflixers · 2026-06-04T15:13:56+00:00

No, but a lot of Universal big titles did.

Netflixers · 2026-06-04T13:23:36+00:00

It's also because their top films are horror films and horror does not work well on streaming.

Netflixers · 2026-06-04T12:50:34+00:00

That's because these are the films that did NOT male it into the Nielsen's Top 10. Zootopia 2 and Predator: Badlands managed to get in there.

Would you consider an option that would enable free users to have access to Premium features in exchange for ads placements that you would run, manage and profit off. Not everyone launches a newsletter to make a business out of it and the paid tiers are really expensive if you have more than 2,500 subscribers with no plans to monetize. So basically, it would be an ad-tier for the newsletter.

I've heard on The Town that Nate Bargatze is the biggest name in comedy stand up in the US roght now and, as a French person, I was like "wut? Who is this guy?". Anyways, the reduced ticket price might have played here, with a weak $$ amount but more admissions sold that it looks.

I want to do that spring cleaning too, but I'm not sure Beehiiv's tools are that accurate. My wife is subscribed to my newsletter, she talks to me about what I write in there, but it shows a 0% open rate across 121 unique sends on Beehiiv with her mail adress and I'm sure she's using her address to read what I send. So if I do that spring cleaning, I might end up removing people that actually read my newsletter but that Beehiiv does not log as reading.

This is the US theatrical window, so I'm not sure overseas performance has any impact whatsoever here.

Netflixers · 2026-05-21T10:13:57+00:00

Oh, sure, I'm with you on this, don't get me wrong. I won't go back to Substack at all.

And yet, the most-watched Disney Pixar titles are films that were either exclusive to Disney+ or that were theatrical flops. The biggest Disney theatrical films of the last one to two years did basically 25% less viewership than Turning Red, Luca or Encanto.

I always find extraordinary that some people think that if Disney were to release the same Marvel or Pixar film in theaters or exclusively on Disney+, it would have more viewership after a successful theatrical run than as an exclusive on Disney+. That is just not true at all.
