A major reason I read Substack is to NOT read "discussions from top politics publishers across the platform". I want to hear a diversity of thoughts, not just from those who are most prolific / popular.

Hello John. The title of the article reads: "Introducing a new destination for U.S. Election discourse" Why did you chose to respond?

Because many of us are here on Substack to get away from "mainstream media" and to connect with individuals. So a feature that seems to be promoting the "most popular" publishers seems counter to the real value of Substack and seems like a step toward being just yet another "alternative media source".

Think you can opt out by clicking on the tab a bit longer and Substack will know what you want to see and not. Can feel draining, I feel you

Basically I just read the people I follow when I get an email that they made a post. I wouldn't have even known about this "feature" if they hadn't advertised it. During my normal usage of Substack I would have to go out of my way to even find it.
