It’s kinda like the podcast ecosystem — it’s fun to do and I like writing and all that, but all the money in Substack is for the top 18-20 newsletters. The rest is scraps. And a bunch of people in the middle try to peddle some scheme to get into the top 20, when they themselves haven’t.

The founders talk often of making the app better and the central place, but the app is all carnival barkers and FB memes. It’s pretty nasty.

I’d say like 20-30 honestly.

I have no evidence to back this up, but I would say you’re 10,000% right.

u/daypounder

Nodding.
u/daypounder

Of course.
