I’ll check it out! Maybe this would be a good place for me as well. I’ve lost motivation to write on Substack. Not that I want to monetize or capture a huge following, but it’s hard to write for no audience, or an overwhelmed audience (how many Substacks can anyone legit subscribe to and actually keep up with, esp if it’s demanding = worthwhile content), or choirs that want to be preached to. Most all of my subscribers come from two other Substack’s recommendations. I admire both, but I’m not writing the same thing. And now I kind of feel pressure to write to those audiences. Anyway, dilemma. I hear ya. Do keep writing though! You guys have good stuff that I learn a lot from, including local New Mexico topics. 👍🏼
Finally I got a chance to check this out. Looks like a cool project. I don't think it's for me because it's tailored to news and journalism. Medium was pretty successful at least as a platform with this kind of model, but I wonder if Substack is beating it out. I don't think either Medium or Substack have been particularly kind to non-star writers. I'm not sure there's any easy answer. Unless you're famous, writing is a kind of starving artist activity, best as a side-gig to your day job. Unfortunately.
