Worth a read about Substack and their $1 billion+ valuation.

I can’t stand how people using Substack generically. It’s a newsletter, not a Substack. Even the old school media is using the term like that.

Substack still platforms questionable people (read: Nazis) and doesn’t like to talk about it. This is one of the main reason why I’m no longer there.

Do I wish I had more visibility for my Marketing Junto newsletter? But not if it’s going to go against my morals.
