Too many subscriptions

This is getting ridiculous with everyone charging for content. We might as well use Apple News

I’m new to this!

One step at a time!

Cannot use one handed

It is way to easy to scroll a page and accidentally go back to Main Page with absolutely no visible history to get me back to the story. Why cannot I shut-off the Backwards Sidescroll??

Good stuff

You are doing a good job keeping me informed

Everything’s a Doom Scroll

By the title i mean every platform is this way now and I’ve subscribed to so many subs bc of this i have do idea how to casually go back and find them so i mainly end up on here using the scroll and what the algorithm dictates and this is how most platforms operate and when i first came to substack it was its uniqueness that made me interested and at its current rate it’s risking why it was good in the first place. Just some food for thought.

Great Read

5 Stars

Connection

Man, where do I begin!!! This app is such a breath of fresh air. Real people. Real words. An experience to be had. This is the Pixar of Apps. Feel the real power of developing something that integrates just being human.

Excellent and thorough analysis

Captain K is a brilliant analyst. Thank you for your hard work. Loved seeing you on Steve Bannon’s Warroom the other night.

Worth the read

This talks of an approach to life and all teaching, not just music! They are a huge force for GOOD in the world.
Great article!

The best Doomscrolling k*ller!

So many interesting things to read, and great app to share your own thoughts, inform yourself, create a community!

The Details

Perfection is in the derails. And, Peter you are the Master of the details.

Why’d no one introduce me sooner

Life changing everyone needs to download

Self publish everything

Don’t stop yourself. Use Substack to reconnect you to your local community the world, and your creative faculties. It is a tool, and there will be others. There will be no other you (unless you’re a twin, which makes this a whole different debate…)

Love the news but not Substack’s system

I am frustrated by the way a Substack article just won’t go away, despite my stoping it and hitting the X button. Somehow, almost every day, a video just starts up again as soon as the one I’ve just heard finishes. It can be from May or February or for the same day! It is annoying and time-consuming to figure out how to stop it and make it go away! Why does this happen?

I’m already there

I know what Howard is talking about. I’ve been retired for over ten years now. I almost never remember what date it is any more. I have to check my phone calendar if I can find it. Howard’s story was funny and on point.

A Quiet Place

I find no distractions here I can focus on what I want to read, it’s a blessing !!

Twice Substack has changed my paid subscriptions to free even though my credit card is being billed.

There appears to be no way to get help. So frustrating.

Mid-Night Alerts UNWANTED!!!

Unable to appreciate endlessly uncalled for wake ups. How to disable while sleeping/resting?

“behind the curtain”

There is a great deal of interest in device sales positions. Why not, they look glamorous, pay well and you can work from home. What the author does here is give you the insights that you don’t see from outside the OR. The highs can be exhilarating and the lows can put you on your knees for weeks-mental toughness is not a nice to have quality-it is a must have resource. There are many great insights here.
