Just commented the same sentiment a few hours ago ...
"Truth is substack writers need their readers just as much as readers need writers ... for sharing ideals and standing on common ground.
However, please consider building/rebuilding a trustworthy in-person network. Closer to home the better. If you can be cut off from your liquid assets, surely you can be cut off from the internet."
I hate to be a fly in the ointment, but I hate podcasts and anything that makes me sit still for more than five minutes watching narcissistic blowhards promoting themselves. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the written word. At its best, it is used for conveying precise and concise information.
I don't care for the habit most Substackers have fallen into of "crossposting" others' thoughts. It's lazy and redundant.
I tried cross-posting someone else's Substack post yesterday for the first time and it didn't work properly other then apparently just being sent by email. I ended up copying and pasting the original into a blog on my Substack with a view to hopefully more people seeing what I thought was important information. I am not at all inclined to try cross-posting again as a result.
