>>109339660>blogsSubstack is the main host for blogs now, replacing Blogspot and things like that which were common in the past. It is apparently doing very well even though most of what is posted there is bad.
>>109339796Substack just reminds me of Xitters tho
>>109339796The problem with substack is that it's not really a blog platform like blogspot or wordpress. Rather, it's a social network with all its quirks (followers, likes, ratios, algorithmic feeds, etc.) where people share their "hot" takes. There's no place for technical writings, so it's pointless.
>>109339796yeah most of what I read there was terrible. Strong grifter vibes too.
>>109339865The social network feature was added later and was a terrible mistake in my opinion. It's like a really bad version of Twiter and reduces the quality of the rest of the site. Never trust corporate sites like that to be any good. It's never been harder to host your own website.The meme of "network effects" from social sites is ancient history.
>>109339865And subscriptions. It’s not for the love of the game anymore.
>>109339660Post some, im trying to get back into blogging but the social media format has fried my brain i need some inspiration
>>10933979695% of the articles on substack are AI generated "productivity" and "self improvement" garbage.
Which ones?
>>109339660based. too bad they are all dying.
