LOL, I don’t think so. I’ve been on the internet since before it was, substack when it first started, same with twitter and medium. My biggest issue appears to have failing to be born of rich parents which could have afforded me an internship with a masthead publication or headline television show. That and getting too old to be adorable. 🤷♂️ Like I said, I don’t really care about subscribers, I’m not in the game for that... just find it a bit MLM “Amway-y” of Substack to sell their Notes by touting achievements of the already platformed as proof of the efficacy of Notes... nope; they were already successful prior.
Oh, totally. And let’s never loose sight of the fact that we are the crops substack is growing and we will eventually be harvested. Hopefully but as painfully as twitter, but nobody is doing this for altruistic reasons. Servers cost WAYYYYYY more than they are collecting on the inlet end... the more we post, the more data they collect and the more loyalty we show to the platform, the more valuable it becomes... but until they sell (exit) they are bleeding cash. The TRUE cost is what nobody here would ever pay.
One! That’s one more than me! Give it time ... and more importantly, keep on writing, they will take note... eventually.

Totally agree! But I’ve also felt that about their other features they have introduced - that it popularizes what and who is already popular!

We need an edit button in the app. I can’t keep going to the website to edit!!
Well, nothing much you can do about it, other than keep posting and let notes be notes...
