Three ways to hear when the record changes, none of which needs an account: an RSS feed, a quarterly calendar reminder, or an email request.
- RSS is the direct route. Add the site's feed to any reader; no account or email address is involved.
- A calendar reminder works too. The record is revised in January, April, July and October, so a quarterly reminder to check it is enough.
- Email goes to a person, not a list. Ask to be told when the record is revised; the address is used for those updates and nothing else.
- Expect little, and only when something changes. The revised record each quarter, corrections as they happen, an occasional explainer, and no daily digest.
- A correction helps more than a follow. Corrections that arrive with a primary source are acted on fastest and fixed in place on the page they affect.
RSS
The whole site publishes a feed. No account, no email address, and no tracking pixels or tagged links in the feed — your reader fetches a plain file. Like any request to this site, that fetch passes through the host’s server logs, as the privacy page describes.
https://aipromptgeneer.com/feed.xmlCopy that address into any reader — Feedly, NetNewsWire, Inoreader, Thunderbird, or the reader built into your browser. If you have never used RSS: it is a list of what changed on a site, fetched by software you control instead of pushed at you by software someone else controls. It is the oldest good idea on the web and it still works.
◈ OPEN THE FEEDA calendar reminder
The record is revised in January, April, July and October. Put a recurring quarterly reminder in your calendar that says "check the record" with the link, and you have a subscription that no company can discontinue, sell, or fill with advertising.

Ask to be told
There is no mailing list yet, and rather than build one badly, here is the honest version: send an email asking to be notified when the record is revised, and you will be — from a person, not a platform.
✉ AIGPTNET@GMAIL.COMWhat happens to your address: it is used to send you record updates and nothing else. It is not sold, shared, or added to any other list. Ask to be removed and you are removed. If a proper mailing list is ever set up, you will be asked before being moved onto it.
Choose the route that asks least of you. A feed or a calendar reminder tells you when the record changes without handing over an address at all.
What you would actually receive
Four times a year: the revised record — bot traffic, machine-written content share, detection reliability, fraud losses. Each figure with a named source and a date, and any superseded number kept on the page rather than deleted.
Whenever it happens: corrections. A figure this site changes after publication is corrected in place on its page, with a note saying what it said before wherever the change matters.
Occasionally: a new explainer when something genuinely changes — a law taking effect, a research finding that overturns something here.
No daily digest. No "10 AI tools you need". No engagement email designed to bring you back for its own sake. This site is a reference, not a habit — if you only open it when something changes, it is working as intended. There are no ads on it and nothing is being sold, which is why there is no reason to manufacture your attention.
More useful than following: send a correction. If a figure here is wrong, outdated, or missing context, say so — corrections that arrive with a primary source attached get acted on fastest, and every one is corrected in place on the page it affects. A reader who catches an error does more for this site than a thousand subscribers.
Also useful: send the household guide to someone who needs it. It is written to be printed and left by a phone.
