I think the causality is reversed here. Financial success on substack will come from developing a particular style that doesn't exist elsewhere in quite the same way, just like a writer or musician. It's not that people will walk on eggshells as they build a bigger audience, but rather that they have to start flanderizing themselves from the start to get that audience in a crowded market.
- bombcar 4y agoYeah, what I was getting at is that you end up with a very defined market and you can’t easily switch out of it. A substack started around “public transit is pretty cool/good” will eventually be unable to have any article that implies cars have value, to pick and arguably bad example. It’s an interesting personal question to ponder - who of those I read would I read if they wrote something diametrically opposed to what I hold? The lists are often pretty short, sadly.
