Yikes, Hamish lots of very unhappy people here. But before you sell to the big box operators, can we tweak your algorithm so I can specifically find a particular 'vein' of reader I'm looking for? With 17,000 writers and who knows how many readers, I know the vein is out there, I just need your help in finding it.

I agree.... and I am tired of being fed so many Substackers asking me to pay them to teach me how to get paid. And then Substack is getting 10% of their fees...hmmm... feels like I'm paying for IT support. Can we just get better IT support? I'd rather pay an annual user fee for this and learn from Substack directly OR provide us with a transparent list of people they partner with.
Better IT support? You must be very optimistic. :) All I've seen in my 2+ years here is what used to be some level of support completely disappear. I find ways to work around the bugs and glitches (usually) but we shouldn't have to do that.
IтАЩm tired of being asked to pay to be taught how to get paid too, but I just donтАЩt respond to them. I go where there is mutual interest. ItтАЩs unique but easy to tell. I donтАЩt like being bombarded with direct message requests from men who have not posted anything yet. Did I mention that IтАЩm 75? I donтАЩt think that makes me uninterest. It just makes me uninterested.
If I understand what you're saying, you're asking to be able to perform a very specific search query (also known, at the technical level, as a 'complex' search query) such that it also returns to you "the complete list" of what you looking for.
Will Bryk, the CEO of Exa-dot-ai, seems to be putting together such a "search solution" (AI-based) for companies to then integrate into their platforms to then offer them to their customers.
So, a potential customer for Exa could be the Substack platform.
More on Will Bryk's vision here (link below). An example of a very specify search query he gives is (paraphrasing): "[I'm an in-house researcher at a Venture Capitalist firm. I need to help the startups I fund hire PhDs who specialize in 'AI Chatbots']: return to me a list of all PhDs who have written a thesis on 'AI chatbots'." Result: it returns the complete list.
Most heuristic AI is search without a global optimimum; so good not perfect answers given the space being searched. Relational Query and Search Capabilities are increasingly overlapping and looking like each other. There are also newer technologies that can emulate search like Tsetlin machines that have not mainstreamed yet. LLMs with transformer architecture (ChatGPT and buddies) are computationally inefficient meaning you pay for tokens in memory and compute usage costs that are pretty high.
Hmm, Bob, Are you a publisher? If so please write to me at joliyoka@gmail.com. I have completed and had edited a political philosophy novel and looking to get it out there. Lots of scams out there I've found.

DonтАЩt think that makes me uninteresting, just uninterested.
