Oh, and what makes Twitter different is that the leadership is trying to encourage this absolute bullshit and is using its mechanics to do so. Substack, as you note, doesn't.

I stressed that Substack is also unlike X in that if I go to "bugeyedandshameless.com" or "volts.com", I see only the author's content, not even thumbnail ads for any other material. By only subscribing from human recommendations, and then going to the substack-powered individual blogs, you can avoid "substack", as such, entirely. Not possible with, umm....ANY other social media??
