Why Am I Receiving Substack Emails?

Substack is a platform that allows writers to send newsletters directly to subscribers. When you subscribe to a Substack newsletter, you receive emails whenever the author publishes new content.

The types of emails you may receive from Substack include:

  • New Article Alerts – When a writer publishes a new post.
  • Promotional Emails – Updates about featured newsletters or special offers.
  • Engagement Notifications – Comments, replies, and interactions from other users.

While some of these emails may be useful, too many can clutter your inbox. Luckily, you can unsubscribe from Substack emails using several methods.
