The initial request was for just 2 million bucks, right? Is there going to be a party or an annual celebration/convention for SubStackers? From here:Peter’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Think of it this way: those with big followings have usually been on substack for much longer than you and many have advantage of being known media personalities and probably have a team helping them produce output. Substack should be shining a light on people like you with both literary and mathematical skills, capable of in-depth statistical analysis and presenting your findings in a readable and thought-provoking way. I don't know how they could go about that but they should.
That's really great though I do wonder what this funding money will be allocated for. I've been in gratitude for Substack and the ability for people to view my content. But it is hard to make a living!
For SubStack, I am thinking it will be bigger than Facebook in two years. Not sure what my "investment" will be worth or whether there will be a "dark market" for contributions it has received. Sort of like - for each 2,200 contribution, the bid is 5,800 and the offer is 6,000 bucks!
I agree! Amazon has something similar with their all stars global select fund. It's how they cornered the book market but as they blacklisted my book I can no longer support them. Facebook is a basket case and a shadow of its former self. I stopped using it except for marketplace and to check up on some friends. Once you see the game of them manipulating visibility of posts ruining all proper feedback signals you can't unsee it. I'm planning a post about that exact subject matter today

I hear that! And thanks for the compliment! (I may need to rush out and buy a bigger hat! haha).
