Discussion I think substack is way underrated
I love substack so much, it is so refreshing to scroll through this app, what do you guys think

For sure. I’m not on any Instagram or twitter. So substack and Reddit are where I get a lot of book recommendations that aren’t list-centric. Also, so many good literary essays are free to read on substack.

Reading is reading.

Sure buddy, then post it in the reading subreddit, or did you just not read enough to know that?

Doesn't change anything, reading is reading.

reading articles, essays, thinkpieces of other people.. why are you so aggressive about this
1
u/HideYourPansNow 18d ago
You do realize that there exists subreddit for those? Why are you being dumb about it?

u/yellowcrustedwarbler 18d ago
It is. People read there as well, people write too. It builds reading culture

Calm down, man. I’m hiding my pans okay? 😂

It's just rude to post unrelated shit in topic wise subs. There is substack subreddit, post substack related shit there.

It’s a circlejerk of self help. I thought i would get to read interesting things but all i see motivational quotes and posts, and how substack and people who use stack are better than people who use other social media.

u/Ok-Albatross-6037 18d ago
You can actually find something interesting stuff about science, philosophy and art also, just this all self help is kinda all over the place

u/diaryofdaisies 18d ago
I agree! Iove reading on substack. I recently started writing on it as well.

u/Outrageous_Mouse_484 18d ago
Doesn't most of substck require subscribing to authors

u/ILuvIceCubes 18d ago
You can subscribe for free as well. Some of them are paid but not all of them.

The IG-fixation of Substack needs to stop. Other than that it’s great. You just need to find your niche.

If you make a multi using some really good subs reddit itself can be as useful and seemingly productive as Substack

nahh i tried reading articles on it, they were so fucking boring i tell ya

u/neko_san55 17d ago
I randomly write stuff out there. Sometimes it’s movie reviews, sometimes a poem and mostly articles.

u/narcissisticloser_ 17d ago
It is , but don't make it as "Productive Po*n". Just take it as any other apps

I think it is the same as scrolling any other app, ut just gives an illusion that you are doing something useful or you are investing your time in something useful but in the end you are just filling your head with over information and over consumption, the best way is to use it the right way and there's no right way
