You should ALWAYS put when it's an API plugin.... some of us feel TRICKED of CLICK-BAITED when there is no mention and it's ONLY PAY to PLAY... would rather NOT get the newsletter if it's hidden API plugs. #Bullshit!
Sending API advertisements in the ComfyUI newsletter contradicts ComfyUI's founding principles. This is a misguided approach that seeks profit at the expense of ComfyUI's values. ComfyUI newsletter subscribers did not subscribe to see API advertisements. If you really want to send advertisements, you could at least consider prioritizing major local AI updates first and adding API news at the end.
Of course, expanding ComfyUI's business revenue is important. However, you can only succeed by increasing revenue in ways that satisfy users. For example, you could create a free plan that allows limited use of API nodes and Comfy Cloud. How do you make money if it's free? You add advertisements. That's how YouTube makes money. That's how Instagram makes money. ComfyUI can do it too. Due to ComfyUI's nature, there's already waiting time needed while nodes are executing. You can display video ads during this time. While YouTube starts ads before watching videos, ComfyUI can generate much better responses and make money by showing ads during "time you have to wait anyway."
If ComfyUI introduces an ad-supported free plan, users will be able to share or sell their workflows via links to anyone, which will cause the user base to surge rapidly. Then there will no longer be a need to send advertisements in email newsletters that contradict ComfyUI's founding principles.

I do like the fact that you're rolling out new features on a weekly, if not daily basis.
But I would rather see improvements being made to the ComfyUI platform itself. Especially the PC desktop version.
