Yes, it is very liberating to be able to write without constraint. I find it really helps the creativity to flow when I'm not having to think about SEO, being judged, or how many "likes" I get (although that part is nice.)

I was almost going to write the same thing: your comment (Ms Donoghue) has as many тАЬlikesтАЭ as any I saw on the whole thread!
But it gets me to another thought that IтАЩd love to get feedback about: Likes are nice, but what if you want to express a different opinion -- but without having to тАЬrespond or replyтАЭ? Should there be a тАЬdislikeтАЭ button? Right away I donтАЩt like the sound of that, but maybe a тАЬI questionтАЭ button or тАЬI see it another wayтАЭ button? Either way, I guess you have to reply to qualify your difference of opinion.
Anyway, just wanted to see what others thought of that.
Because the one sort of concerning thing about the original article was the emphasis on тАЬchoosingтАЭ ones own customers or community. While that doesnтАЩt sound nefarious: we all should strive to find our perfect or ideal customer. But do we want тАЬthoughtтАЭ to only be targeted to that agree with us. Anyway, that was a part of the original article on the evolution of SubStack that bothered me a little. Thanks.
I agree that the potential filter bubble effect is something to remain aware of and devoutly resistant to. Finding one's tribe, as they say, is fun and valuable. Mistaking one's tribe for the whole world, and/or writing, speaking, and listening exclusively in an ideological echo chamber, is the stuff of dangerous dystopia.

In light of your comment about not worrying about how many likes you get, I hope it's not ironic that I clicked the like button on your comment. ЁЯШК

Thanks for your thoughts. I think you expressed exactly my concern. It is difficult to manage either way. No тАЬrightтАЭ answer or solution.
Classic. I hit the like as well ...
I'm not sure of much, except for that nothing in this human realm is without IRONY.
We're all gonna get dosed by it whether we chose to drink from that punchbowl or NOT! IRONY is wholly without ethics or even consent.
Keep on activating, doing, ruddering....ring..ring...ring-a-ding-ding
