New newsletter episode!
s16e11: Substack's Thin End of the Quora Wedge
The thing that caught my attention for today's episode starts with Substack's Quora-like shitty user experience, with its modal for signup when you just want to read a blog post.
Given Substack's (obvious?) path to enshittification, why are people still using it to start newsletter, and what would it take for them to switch?
A big tie-in to @pluralistic's recent writing on fixing the internet.
