I don't exactly see how Notes would actually get subscribers. Notes get followers, but not always subscribers. Maybe perhaps for those who already have a lot of followers and subscribers because they have more interaction. Not that I know if that is the key to Notes and visibility. Notes doesn't work in the way I think Notes should. And I think because it's a clunky.
Notes is barebones. Your only option in terms of organization is just explore or follow. There honestly needs to be an option to organize things in chronological order on Explore. And if you don't want to that, then figure out a way to mark a Note as "read." I don't want to mute an entire writer on my feed just to remove things I'm not interested in seeing anymore. Otherwise, you are just stuck in a mess of endless scrolling. It's not organized and, there is no way to make it organized.
And honestly, this is just an overall problem with Substack, organization done in a clunky manner. Unless you know who you want to read, you are going to have issues with trying to find someone's writing to read.
Notes isn't a good solution for this unless it is improved on a technical standpoint for usability.
Another perspective: Engaging on Notes regularly has absolutely brought me more subscribers. It also helps me discover amazing writers and publications. Sometimes I subscribe to these publications. Sometimes I feature them in my monthly link-up post. Multiple times a day, I heart, comment on, and restack posts I never would’ve seen before Notes.
Hi. I did do one note that has been shared a lot and has gotten me a lot of new subscribers, but people are also commenting...a lot...and when I see that there has been more comments, I have to scroll through and "load more replies" over and over to find the new ones to like or respond to. There should be a way to only see the new ones, but there isn't. That is clunky, like you said.
