i have to be real honest with u there chief, y’all (substack employees and thriving creators on the platform) talk a real great game ideologically, but guess what? it doesn’t matter if you can put the readers in front of the writers, which has been my experience, and many others. i’ve cranked out a bunch of content on your platform only for it to fall so flat that if i don’t post about it on my other social media outlets, it will never get read. that’s an incredibly degrading feeling, and while u, in theory, stand for the antithesis of the social media people like myself are trying to get away from, i don’t see u addressing the lack of traffic on many substacks which implies that the company believes it must be the quality of the content that’s being produced. just some thoughts, boys

I feel like this is kind of a wild issue to have with substack as a platform. I never was under the impression that substack is intending to do the work of bringing people to my content... that's the writers job.

Yes, Anastasia. Write quality pieces, edit and polish your work, make each sentence the best sentence you can write. Take the time to write well, and your readers will find you - and stay with you and recommend you to others. I never thought it was Substack's job to bring me readers. Maybe I misunderstood?
