"User driven" is a really good point ... it is like each of our substacks has a 'human algorithm' (aka: you and me) to recommend what we feel is important, which bakes authenticity and trust into all of it.
I hope the growth engine keeps innovating along these lines!
Lenny's right; recommendations are an absolute game-changer. Doubly so, since they're user-driven instead of by an algorithm.
I'm curious to hear more about the "growth engine" currently in development!

I hope so too! There's a ton of social proof built into them that would never happen if it was automated.
Totally. IтАЩm trying to get more recommendations
