Justin, I love your content. But nah. I've said it and I still stand on it that Substack should be gatekept. My eyes twitch anytime I see a celebrity or a popular content creator(like you) join Substack. Not because I dislike them or you. But because there's a high chance they(you) will start giving this app more visibility. Is that selfish? Probably.
Also, it takes away from small creators. Because what do you mean someone here has been writing for months and has barely crossed 100 subscribers. But a popular content creator or celebrity or influencer can easily funnel subscribers in within days or weeks. And most importantly, I really don't want to see famzing comments here too.
