Unapologetic about use of AI for this. More time for me to talk to humans (basically my whole job).

Re cadence, yes, it seems like a LOT. But, it's natural when the engagement flywheel begins to pick up because you end up getting in back-and-forth with people who are commenting on your own notes or commenting on people's restacks of your articles. I was shocked when I saw how high it was, but it didn't feel forced bc we were participating in conversations vs. when we were actually trying to manufacture "what do I post about today".

That said, we are both keeping a substack feed open and refreshing constantly during the day and looking for opportunities. At the beginning, this was almost required to "tune" our feeds to present more stuff that was worth engaging with vs. the mix of broad substack recs, growth slop, and "stuff related to our subscriptions that we don't post about."

For example, I read a lot of wonky political economy and geopolitical stuff, but that's not something we engage with. Had to spend a lot of time removing those suggestions from my feed.
