Why Does My Substack Suck?
Please share. Be honest.
Sometimes very good people, many of them my friends, unsubscribe from AI Health Uncut for various reasons. In this case, which I wish would happen more often when people leave, a paid subscriber left constructive criticism. I really appreciate that.
Would you mind sharing your constructive criticism, either via this poll, in the comments, or privately, whichever is comfortable for you, so I know how to keep improving.
Thank you.

I don't think it sucks at all. I enjoy reading it and do not agree with the person. The problem for me is that substack has suddenly become way too crowded with an embarrassment of riches-- too many options for people to follow. If I paid for every subscription for every person I enjoy reading on here I wouldn't pay my mortgage. I think it's interesting how Substack has evolved from a simple blogger site to what it is now with shows and videos. When originally, I appreciated it just to hear from people who wanted to share their thoughts. Now everyone wants to monetize everything, everywhere which is fine. Thats how it is now. Just helping you understand my perspective on why I don't pay.
Talk about software that doesn't always work - the poll wouldn't load on my app or browser :)
I don't think "gossipy and condensing" makes a good selection because I don't think it's gossipy at all in the sense like many others are gossipy. Condensing perhaps a bit, more like combative and ferocious. That's a part of it. That said, sometimes the combative tone overshadows the truly deep and real research inside. Personally I might have preferred it a bit more balanced. Maybe 60% ferocious now to 40% ferocious and 60% fundamental?
