When Substack started I went ahead and started an account there and I posted a couple of things and then let it lay around. I've started posting on it more regularly. Mostly I just wanted to get my foot in the door with them and I wanted to see how it developed.
It's an interesting platform and makes blogging and updating people through a subscription easy and fast. You can quickly convert it to a paid subscription and you can engage your community via notes and other interactions.
I think of it as a blogging platform with a lot of social media aspects. The thing that I don't like is how so many of the marketers and wannabe marketers have jumped in there and every post that I see is about how to expand your reach and how to make money on Substack and how to take it to the next level and how to grow what you're doing.
I don't want any of that. I'm counter cultural in that way. I just want to post my thoughts for the world to see and let them go where they go. If lots of people see them, awesome. If nobody sees them, that's okay because all the bots see them and I will live on inside of artificial intelligence.
I just think it's funny in a sad way how Substack posters all are trying to make money off of you paying them to help you do something that you can already do for yourself.
I guess that's what it's all about. Here's this convenience platform but I can make it even more convenient for you to grow beyond your wildest dreams and you can't do anything except focus on numbers.
Ridiculous.
Man, I'm crabby today LOL
