I hate mailing lists! I mostly use email for important communication, and all kinds of email subscriptions make it using like that more annoying than I'd like it to be.
Fortunately, these days not many people use mailing lists that much, so I hardly ever encounter useful info sources that rely solely on them.
I prefer social networks feeds for that. They're super easy to ignore when I don't need them, and posts I missed aren't hard to find.
But I guess that would only work fine for people like me who follow only a few accounts, I suspect that when number of subscriptions grows bigger, they become harder to manage.
How annoyed are you by people that post the same content multiple times on their feed?
I do that a lot on Twitter, spread throughout time periods of the day, over a week, to compensate for Twitter's algorithm. But if you don't follow many people, you'll likely see the duplicates.
If you haven't noticed it then perhaps it isn't so bad.
Yes, people do this frequently. It's not always obvious. I'll attempt to mitigate duplication by retweeting different tweets of my articles, or slightly varied content. I also keep a list of when I tweeted what, so it's spaced over time. There's services that do this automatically, but I don't use them.

I think I wouldn't enjoy that. Then again, I've never seen anyone actually doing that.
It might be because I'm not a Twitter user. Are people commonly working around Twitter algorithms like that?
