- codenprose 2y agoTL;DR: I love Substack, but a friend of mine is skeptical. He ranted about subscription fatigue and sustainability concerns for writers outside the top one percent. I reached out to Claude and tried to steelman his argument. While I still disagree, I do believe the "winner-takes-all" dynamic is the most significant challenge for writers, and it could sink Substack.
