I agree with your analysis but substack like every other small platform is like an agency.
I hate big platforms for their algorithms. But an algorithm is still a non-human party and the people controlling it aka developers aren’t like sitting there planning who to uplift or not.
But a smaller platform is messy. I don’t think substack is a non-partisan party when it comes to pushing creators.
They push the big guys when they come and there are few small creators that fit their ideal goals.
But of course, we are the boring guys. If you are giving yourself that title, I am mega boring.
But overall it is kind of confusing too. I see creators with like 70-100 likes on their posts and they have less than a 1000 readers. Meanwhile so many big creators are like cracking less than 20 likes.
Did anyone else not get the rest of this?
Hilarious satire that is also true.
Thank you
