Wow good for these guys! I can't imaging posting that often and also throwing all those parties on top of working a full-time gig. Curious why they haven't at least launched a paid option for folks who want to support them even if they decide to keep all the content free.
I love that I also live in and mainly write about people in NYC, but I have never heard of any of the big NYC "names" they've featured in their own NYC-based Substack. It just shows me that even within one location, there's so much room on this platform for exploring different aspects of life and appealing to completely different readerships
Wow, growing from 0 to 30,000 in three years is amazing.
Certainly inspiring to think that they’ve done it while holding down two jobs.
Strange that they’ve not monetised at all. They could turn on paid and ask for donations while keeping it free. They’d only need a small percentage of conversions to make it work.
Thanks heaps for your encouragement about having the grit to keep going. My substack is new and unusual and growth is non existent but I’ve got the determination to continue.
I love the approach of giving other people the mic! I’ve just shifted my substack to have 2 posts per week -- one short form weekly newsletter where I share quotes, music, interesting reads, and hold an advice column, and a long form personal post where it’s me ruminating on cultural criticisms and personal introspections about life.
Having that balance of making space for the voices and works of other creatives in my wednesday newsletter makes all the difference in bringing in multiple POVs and also keeps me on my toes to continue consuming beautiful work! We gotta share the love ❤️
I’ll be soon posting an interview of LA-based Salvadoran-American filmmaker, and my good friend, Fernando Ponce who’s recently underwent a mentorship with latinx digital news and culture source mitú.
I am 89 and have not given up. I have written three works of fiction under my pen name, Pat Muir, that have not sold. I have written ten movie scripts that have gone nowhere- see Coverfly. I am now writing a blog about what ex-slaves said to interviewers in 1936-38. See slavewords.substrack

Always love when a new PI drops!
Was posting a perfectly imperfect (P.I.) feature on Pi day on purpose?
This was a great article and contained a lot of useful nuggets, but none more useful than "don't give up!" Thank you!
Pleased to say that my Substack’s balance of growth against remaining cool is very even right now.
@Perfectly imperfect, thanks for sharing the Gold dust ✨️ of encouragement, inspiring to keep driving. I needed it👍
Thanks heaps for your encouragement about having the grit to keep going. My substack is new and unusual and growth is non existent but I’ve got the determination to continue.
kudos on your growth, Tyler & Alex 💪🏼 💪🏼
as one creative New Yorker to another... i'd be curious to get your take(s) on how you both deal with internet, smartphone, & social media addiction.
my most recent post helps us to reminisce... about the times before digital heroin.
