Can we talk about keeping every email newsletter instead of unsubscribing

I used to let my inbox pile up with newsletters I never read, telling myself I'd get to them someday. My unread count hit 4,200 last month on my Gmail, and I realized I was just ignoring 90% of them. So I spent an afternoon unsubscribing from every single one that I hadn't opened in over 6 months. Now I only keep three newsletters: one about local hiking trails, one from my kids' school, and a weekly recipe roundup. The difference is huge, my inbox went from feeling like a trash pile to something I actually check without dread. But here's the thing, a lot of my friends say they like having all those emails because they feel like they might miss something important. Has anyone else found that letting go of newsletters actually made you miss out on anything useful?

Totally feel you on this, the inbox dread is real.

Wait, people actually check their inboxes more than once a day?
