Another free medium is email newsletters, which are seeing a resurgence. Yes, you need to manage CAN-SPAM compliance and the actual protocols are a mess, but you can cobble something together with on-prem campaign software and AWS SNS for not too much money.

True fact. I'd call the medium "email" though.

The infrastructure and compliance requirements of running a newsletter is very different from personal email (mostly to stay on the good side of antispam)

Often, yes, but with some care you can run everything yourself except actually sending the emails over the wire. And you can do so cost-efficiently.
