Yes, it would be great if we could find, for example, book reviews on Substack, but we can't, there's no category. That's a discovery problem, well known and much talked about by everyone. Even better would be if writers on Substack came up on search engines. What are the chances of any Rooney book review on Substack showing up in a Google search? No chance. Sure, the NYTs and Goodreads will show up, but so will a dozen different Reddit chats, so it's not impossible for Substack to aim for that level of exposure for their writers and the platform.
Hmm. Hundreds of LLMs are available, general and niche. After nearly two years, I don't think anyone automatic thinks ChatGPT when they think of using an AI tool. It's the market leader, but not the only option ordinary people consider.
you guys are talking about things i really don't understand!
i want tools that i am able to learn how to use that don't keep forcing me to learn new methods, or protocols for me to keep using the tools i am able to use already.
for instance. i have never owned a cell phone, i do not ever want to have a smart phone. but more and more the protocols that enable me to have a presence on the internet are forcing me to need the thing i don't want. i am not able to receive text messages.
i understand it is a Luddite position so i fear one day i will not be able to use my email providers.
example . strip is notifying me to update information on the stripe dashboard. but i am not able to set up 2 step verification that i am who i say i am. i am unable to set up 2 step verification because i do not have the apps, or equipment required to do so. also, increasingly, i do not understand the instructions about how to do things.
i only want to write, paint pictures, and find readers and views who enjoy my creative work.
i know how to produce paper products, but that is not where the public reader is.
please find a way for people like myself to be able to continue to do what we already know how to do.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I love your demeanors...
looking forward to listening to this!
you must be a real dick

Which one have you liked best?
Love Jasmine, but I see that she stole the name of my hypothetical newsletter (minus the 'a'), so now I'm deeply conflicted. 🤔
Ha! I love it!
One hundred percent agree about Beehiiv. Having to remember how to misspell the name won't induce me to use a platform. 🤣
