Now the new newsletter is working and I’ve migrated subscriptions from the old newsletter to the new newsletter. Unsubscribe link has been broken in the new newsletter, I found the issue was me being too aggressive in turning off tracking. It will now track unsubscribes, but will continue to NOT track opens, clicks, or anything else.
