To get more visibility?
- CSSer 2y agoI think the irony works either way.
- CharlieDigital 2y agoIf OP was going for visibility by posting it HN, Reddit, etc. then does it matter if it was Substack or his own blog or even the Shepherd site?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoTechnically, yes. If the thesis is "Google search is inaccurate and overrun with SEO optimized slop and ads", them using a blog utilizing that same SEO optimization feels a bit ironic. Feeding the beast you want to change.
- bwb 2y agoI don't quite understand, I still want Google traffic, they have a monopoly. Nothing has changed there.
- bwb 2y agoThat is a private blog, so I don't care if anyone sees it. I just wanted something I updated every 2 to 3 weeks with my frustrations, wins, and so on as I build Shepherd.com. I was on Twitter's free email thing but they shut down and imported to Substack. I just didn't want to pay for anything as the only person who reads it is me and my mom. It has 100 readers on it, as its just for me really.
