An email newsletter that leverages a creator's brand to offer direct financial incentives or opportunities (e.g., lottery, raffles) to subscribers for opening and engaging with the emails, making it a "gimmick" or a game rather than just content.

Why now
The creator economy is booming, and email remains a direct channel to a large audience. A major creator can leverage their existing brand for rapid scaling.
Market gap
A lack of highly gamified, incentive-driven email newsletters that directly offer financial 'payoffs' for engagement, especially from major content creators.
The existing fanbase of a large creator, as well as individuals motivated by the prospect of winning money or prizes.
Revenue
Potentially massive, given a large creator's scale and ability to integrate with existing product lines (e.g., Feastables).
Founder
A celebrity creator with a large, highly engaged audience and a brand built around giveaways, spectacle, and direct audience interaction, capable of funding the 'payoffs'.

I would make it in that vein it would be like almost like a gimmick right he would pay you some amount of money or do some amount of raffle for every open
maybe you have to buy a pack of feastables to get signed up for some lottery
every time you open up the email you have an opportunity to make money
