It’s much easier to reach the audience he wants to share with<\/a> using his Substack than either Twit-er, er, I mean “X”, or Facebook:<\/p>\n

Below I look at some surprising ways Substack has changed the media (and social media) landscape.<\/p>\n

This gives me a good excuse to recommend the new Substack app<\/a>. It’s now my go-to source for informed writing \u2014 providing access to a smarter and more diverse group of authors, thinkers, and creators than I’ve found anywhere else.<\/p>\n

I’ve now been on Substack for 30 months, and the improvements in the platform during that time have far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know any music writers on Substack back when I launched, but it now boasts a better roster of critics than any newspaper or magazine. By the way, I’m also subscribing to writers in a dozen or so other fields (culinary arts, economics, literature, finance, technology, psychology, etc.).<\/p>\n

I’m a heavy user. I must have signed up for almost a hundred Substacks.<\/p>\n

Substack has also added a lot of new features during those 30 months. I especially like Notes, which is similar to Twitter but with extra IQ points. And I’ve also benefited from cross-posting, recommendations, and many other new features. I also applaud options I don’t currently use (like chat and podcasts), because they empower writers and readers.<\/p>\n

The reality is that Substack is innovating faster than I can keep up with. But I like it that way. It’s creating an interconnected and independent media ecosystem here.<\/p>\n

Best of all are the core values behind all this:<\/p>\n
