My newsletter is growing happily & I don’t check Notes feed much / don’t use Chat / don’t use video / don’t do Lives / have never done a TikTok in my life / don’t read a ton of other Substacks / don’t use the audio function much either. Sharing this because if you’re overwhelmed by all the many buttons, here’s a reminder that it’s okay to keep things manageable/enjoyable & text-based and you can publish things in whatever way you choose & at whatever pace feels right for you. It’s nice to have choices but it’s OK to also ignore them. (Ps getting “recommendations” on Substack is where the real growth is. I.e, write a good newsletter.)
