Everyone is going to be so pumped when they learn about websites. The media has reported on substack this way since they began and it's so fucking stupid. It's a website with an email list as a service. Substack is nothing.
Why can’t we just go back to blogs and RSS? That worked lovely.
That's not a monetizable platform on the scale that a locked in social media platform is. That and the average user doesn't seem to understand what websites are if they aren't individual apps on their phone
