Everyone and their mom is on Substack now
Everyone and their mom is on Substack now and I really don’t know how I feel about it.
Substacks aren’t really blogs; they’re part of an ecosystem that feels a little bit like the social mediaification of blogging.
Blogging is supposed to be one of the last defences against the shackles of social media expectations, but I feel like Substack centralizing so much of the long form discourse on the internet can’t be good. Every once in a while I consider getting on Substack, but it just feels wrong for some reason. I believe in people having their own space on the internet.
