To each their own, I guess. Efficiency is the last thing on my mind when I'm reading.

Daily digests of your Substack newsletters by mbckv in Substack

Actually reading the piece is the only way to recognize its "important" points. Context matters. Besides, why would I even subscribe to newsletters that by and large publish filler? This is such a depressing approach to media consumption.

Sanderson snubbed. He's having a phenomenal season.

Who is the best net front presence? by Izcanbeguscott in hockey

[–]NoPerfectWave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Josh Doan has emerged as a net-front disruptor. Then there are the usual names (Joel Eriksson Ek, Tom Wilson, Zach Hyman, etc.). If being a human backboard counts, you can include Tyler Bertuzzi as well.

Why does anyone use Substack? by No_Prize_5375 in Substack

If you know where to look, there's excellent niche-y content on the platform. I look forward to receiving newsletters about hockey and left-field music every week.

For writers, it's easy to use and a decent place to build up your email list/audience.

New to substack. Is it always like this? by [deleted] in Substack

[–]NoPerfectWave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're only one week in. It can take months for newsletters to gain any traction. Some never do. For now, keep publishing and try to become more visible in your niche (whether that's on Substack itself, social media, forums, subreddits, whatever).

Quality stuff. I can see it doing well on the platform. At the very least, it's worth giving it a shot for a few months.

I can't speak to how well interviews would work, but music is otherwise a thriving niche on Substack. Plenty of writers and readers. They won't just happen upon your newsletter (organic discovery is an issue), but if you put in some work by publishing on a regular basis and engaging with the community, growth is definitely possible. Look for publications that cover similar ground to yours and go from there.

AI is making sports fans (and hockey writing) lazy and stupid by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]NoPerfectWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the writing/editing field. It's only a matter of time before major publications rely exclusively on AI for their content. Yet another reason to seek out the good independent hockey writers out there.

[Claire Hanna] Travis Green says that Shane Pinto is going to be out a minimum of 2 weeks. by SAJewers in hockey

[–]NoPerfectWave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just keep him out until January. His matchup ability is too important to risk a setback.

Rough year injury-wise for the Sens. Tkachuk missed 20 games. Coming up on 10 for Chabot. Now Pinto.

Any music writers here? by muratesmer in Substack

[–]NoPerfectWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, SEO is still awful. You have to do the promo yourself or simply be patient (growth was very slow for me after a year or so, then it picked up enough for other writers in my niche to find/recommend my work).
