Fantastic. I had to read that tweet like four fucking times because I couldn't believe it was in earnest. I also immediately felt bad for you and Luke O'Neill and Max Read and all the other genuinely great writers on this, and I hate to say it, but: pretty fucking rad platform, from a pure tech/user experience POV. I absolutely wish the heads of Substack would just... shut the fuck up and let the writers write and not try to become A Brand, particularly the one they really, sweatily, desperately wish to become, but lol their VC backers aren't going to take the honest profit just Being A Good Platform would provide. Assholes. Anyways: lol, lmao. Well done.
