I don't see a meaningful difference between social media and substack (or wordpress.com or medium.com) since they are all about the network too, and I don't mean that in a bad way. What is the difference you see? A newsletter you put out outside of substack and wordpress.com and medium.com will gain users much more slowly since you don't have the benefit of the massive existing network of substack/wordpress.com/medium.com users. I don't say that as a reason not to write your own letter I'm just describing what I see.

> meaningful difference between social media and substack On substack I get email to commute directly anytime. They get my content in their inbox. And it's not algo heavy. Other social media like Twitter, insta, and Facebook rely on content engagement. > I don't say that as a reason not to write your own letter I am doing it. The problem is slow growth and less reach compare to social media.
