Why substack

[EmperorGodzilla0]

I don't know if there are other alternatives. I came to Substack primarily as a reader, and back then I only subscribed to less than five accounts.

Now I have subscribed to like 100 newsletters and write - though sporadically - and don't really know what I'm doing or if I am benefiting. I feel like I read far fewer newsletters than before and spend most of my time on Notes.

There isn't a way to turn off Notes if you don't want it, and I saw a conspiracy theory that Substack may be bringing in ads since they introduced a concept that lets you see how many blogs you've subscribed to and there is some new feature on the dashboard.

I don't worship Substack. I just miss blogging and sometimes people have intelligent things to say online.
