The list is not a ranking system nor did I use any tangible metrics. It is purely based on my taste, personal interests, and what I consider value. Also, this doesn't mean other newsletters are bad. These are the best from where I am in life now.
To spice things up, this list is capped at 10. So if a new newsletter has to make it to the list, it has to replace one of the existing ones.
What is value to me?

PS: If the list is incomplete, it's because I didn't want to include 10 for the sake of it. More newsletters will make way when they meet my version of value.
You can also check the version history below. If at all I replace or remove any newsletter in the future, you will know why I did it.
