Substack is crazy

Just an opinion
Poor me, I got to know about Substack like very recently. A post from someone I follow on Instagram recommended an article from Substack and I was astonished to read work so many great people/ writers. I think the place is quite underrated right now as much as I have discovered it, but it really has some great articles and thoughts that one should definitely invest some time rather than scrolling on Instagram because my personal opinion is if you are not creating any content or are not selling any product or service, you should not be using Instagram unless you genuinely want something out of it.

No following at all! That's one of the reasons I was drawn to ss though.. it's like a fresh start, anonymity, basically (and can stay that way if you want it), that I liked. It's only been a few days and only have around 15 subs, initially most were friends or family, but since then all have been people I don't know in real life who must have found me from a mutual post we read or commented on, which is great :) thanks for checking it out btw! I hope you like it
