I love this advice. And I think it's an important reminder when you're trying to build your own little space on the internet.
A big reason I moved to Substack was...well, honestly I had a tantrum about algorithms...but mostly I missed being able to feel like I could write for my audience without needing to feel like I was just feeding an algorithm. Plus, I never really liked short-form and the lack of nuance.
In my first post on Substack I said I wanted to write "slow content" about chronic illness - away from the reactivity of social media - and I'm really glad to be here. I'm looking forward to reading your newsletter!
Thanks for that reflection, Natasha (I love how you describe that – a 'tantrum about algorithms', we've all been there...!) Completely relate on the lack of nuance too. Hurray for Substack & slow content.
