It feels like we might just be walking into a bigger version of the same issue, but nobodies talking about it yet for some reason. Where would groups like the o9a be without WordPress? Nowhere

But I also wonder, is wordpress any better ethically? They've hosted prominent neonazi and etc sites since day one. They take that money. I don't know what their personal politics are, but they're a lot bigger than substack in reality, they're just not as loud about it.

I was going to try beehiiv, but they have unspecified limits on post size. I'm also pretty sure it deleted stuff randomly. That or its editor is buggy in some other way. Now I'm transferring that work to WordPress(.com), and it seems alright so far. I can't edit on the phone, but whatever.

I see a lot of "don't use substack" and nobody offering any comparable alternatives that are viable for smaller or new bloggers who want to take their writing seriously.

Can you think of a single substsck alternative that:
Is free to start writing (no ghost)
Has no post length limit (no beehiiv)
Has a decent editor/citation management (most dont)
Doesn't plaster your blog with ads (no blogger)
Has remotely economically sound monetization features for small blogs

Someone who is betting on themselves as a newbie can't afford flat subscription fees without hurting themselves. This is why substack won and until someone else provides this they will continue to win no matter how much disgusting content they allow. It's just how things work.

The barrier is high especially for a smaller creator. Literally the best possible platform for the average small creator has to be centralized to minimize burdens, and has to have viable payment/monetization options for people that might not ever make $50.

And it has to be simple and easy to just start writing and releasing writing with so minimal tech burden, even Ernest Hemingway or Scott Fitzgerald could figure it out despite being drunk 24/7

Other features, but these are primal foundational features from a new content creator perspective, not to mention the steeper learning curve and let's be honest, as smart as many writers are, it's not always in the tech area. If you want to support small writers you need micropayments or % fee

For anyone starting out clearly, yes. Beehive requires flat fee sub to begin monetization instead of a %. This naturally favors larger creators and hurts new people who are just trying to get their first monetized subs. The % fee naturally favors small creators technically, which isn't to speak on..

Just from what I read it takes more work to get started but I haven't really tried it from a real perspective

I need to look more into these and how they function. Unfortunately I put a lot of work into something in just now finishing editing on substack and I can't stand the idea of transferring 300 citations so I'll be using it at least one more time.

This reminds me I have a substack I keep forgetting to unsubscribe from...

Yeah. I understand not wanting to support big platforms on there who have enough platform to choose, but it is an unfortunate reality that as a tech stack, I don't see anything else as fully featured, clean, and easy to use on both content creator and consumer levels so... someone do that please lol

People left WordPress because it fully lacked many of the things substack has and isn't very monetizable. Small creators can't afford to move off substack because it's the only place anyone makes money doing this stuff afaik

I've never heard of a complete app that covers all the functionality of substack. For people to shift en masse, another platform needs to actually cover those basis. It needs a good word editor with builtin referencer, proper monetization, and an effective user front-end that aids finding content.

Different buckets woops. It seems the article in question did deeper analysis then is being granted by someone who stands to monetarily benefit from strawmanning antiai positions.

So so you think ai has had 0 job impact on labor markets? I'm curious what your analysis of the difference in impact between different is. Although as a CEO of a tech PR firm who writes a lot of favorable content about AI, this could be seen as you doing your job depending on your clients.
