That list is meant to be low traffic, not no traffic.
"A moderated list for any announcements of relevance to a large audience
of Wikimedia community members, friends and interested observers."
We are a worldwide community sharing the same goals, but with widely
differing interest within that. What may be interesting (or not) to you
may well be very different to other people. A curated summary of the
going-ons in the form of the Signpost or what's happening in the
Wikimedia GLAM movement are relevant/interesting to many. If you are
sure that never applies to you, pressing delete/ignore/read 5 times a
month aren't that taxing. A hint, you'll probably end up with more email
in this thread alone than you get in a month things you don't care about
in the announce list.

Hi all,
I'm subscribed to wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org and it
receives constant posting of low interest posts such as "This month in GLAM"
or
"The Signpost" stuff. This gets annoying because I expect the newsletter to
announce only really big announcements that interest me or require my
attention, and that appear infrequently.
There's also a risk similar to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf that really significant
announcements will be ignored due to people getting used to not paying attention
to the less significant ones.
Can someone take it to heart? If it continues, I'll have to unsubscribe from
the newsletter.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
