So it honestly took me an embarassingly long time to figure out why this post is from Keyan's personal account, rather than a dedicated bot for similar newsletters alone; and my conclusion is that, although someone could argue that separating newsletters into a dedicated account is a good idea, there's also enough added value from Keyan's interpretations1, and more subtly, the room for judgement curation beyond whatever zaprank the community produced.
Thank you for your continuing efforts to improve the site, despite folks like me who mostly just mess around and rarely ever actually do something useful, like complaining about industrialised society and its future.2

  1. if you're a skimmer like me, then just return to the top3; in this digest format, the top posts section is the one that actually includes room for human creativity. ↩
  2. now that is one text that could have gotten a few good zaps that would sweep aside the long tail into rounding errors... ↩
  3. in most default browser configurations, one tap on the Home button should scroll directly to the top, regardless of any anchors within the page, as long as your cursor isn't captured by any text entry field. ↩
