Adding your blog to my RSS feeds right now. I think Substack is a symptom of a larger problem...the replacement of blogs with 'newsletters.' I hate this trend even more then the so-called "pivot to video," not because I have anything against the newsletter concept, but because in terms of implementation blogs were (technically are) a protocol, and newsletters mostly are on one of two platforms, and Medium, quite frankly, is going the way of MySpace.
