Email alerts cost me 138.26$ in December.

These costs can easily be reduced with 1 hour of work: as some people subscribed multiple times, removing duplicates will result in sending less weekly emails.

There were 57'213 alerts. Cleaning script is now running.

Today is a good day: a total of 1M people visited @UNTalentJobs.

It took 18 months to reach that milestone.
- Amount spent: ~1K$ 🥵
- Amount earned: 0$ ☹️
1/n THE SMALL CHANGE THAT BOOSTED MY RETENTION

Here are the amount of people coming back to the website via links on the weekly email alerts.

How to beat that plateau?

2) Manually replied, got bored 😑
3) Automated email replies ⚙️
4) Someone requested 2000 times to promote a job, and... got 2000 emails 😰

A >1% downtime was not acceptable at all, just because of artificial limits. I'm now close to 0% again.
