🔗 Enough With the Substacks
Don’t call it a Substack. - Anil Dash
Email’s been here for years. But the reason Substack wants you to call your creative work by their brand name is because they control your audience and distribution, and they want to own your content and voice, too. You may not think you care about that today, but you will when you see what they want to do with it.
Read the whole thing from Anil. Substack is not some independent place giving you some freedom. It’s another product from the same people you think you are running from trying to lock you in to another platform. You have other options. Find them and use them.
