Some of these sound interesting but I am curious about how many non-Best Selling Authors, non-University educated, non-establishment people who also moved from these platforms. I get that you want to promote the creators who are going to make money for Substack. Yet they don’t need your help.

Yeah! I have migrated from Medium 2 years ago and I have never regretted it since then!

You can really feel that at Substack the interest of the writers and of the platform are one and the same.

I had written a short piece about it, at the time.

In short, "The alignment of interest between the company as distributor and its suppliers (writers) is key in the long run and generates strategic trade-offs"

I feel it is still valid today ;) Given that choosing on which platform to publish is a key strategic decision of every writer who's starting up (or shifting from a closing one)! Check it out -- > https://livmkk.substack.com/p/medium-newsletters-are-out-but-we

Once I started writing a Substack I felt certain this was the platform that would win out in the end. Facebook was never about providing a good experience for either the writer or the readers.

That's almost entirely what Substack is about. How refreshing that the good guys win one for a change!

Welcome, everyone :)

I hope all of you enjoy being on Substack. I think that one of the very best things about Substack that made it stand out from the offerings of other companies like Twitter or Facebook is that the only thing Substack does is handle newsletters and facilitate subscriptions to those newsletters. It's not a side hustle. For them, it's their only hustle.

It's a small difference, but I think as you spend more time here you'll see that it's their guiding star. It's the impetus behind their every decision and feature set that they consider or roll out. And that difference in focus really does have a direct impact on what it's like to use the platform. I believe you've all made a great decision. Welcome!
