Ratings and Reviews
A great read !
Doomberg shares real and reliable information with readers and subscribers. Most arrivals include factual data based information that is referenced for the purposes of the conversation. We love the way they never shy away from taking pot shots at those who need a little bit of a slap.
Long form journalism rocks!
Short form journalism offered by legacy journalism sucks!
As a frequent consumer of podcasts and Substack posts, I am better informed that at any time in my 72 year lifetime.
Combine this evolution with the advances in large language modes like ChatGPT and you have a superior alternative to obtaining an expensive university degree.
This is a great time to be alive for anyone who is a lifetime learner. It is also a requirement for all “knowledge workers” (the “laptop” crowd) who wish to compete successfully in the emerging Digital Age.
Clean UI. Does not respect your privacy.
While I love the app, it has a clean UI and a pleasant UX to it by elegantly showing that the interface concept of “less is more” can work work effectively.
Unfortunately, I do not like how privacy-invasive the app is. It collects far too much data about you, it’s data that wouldn’t (and couldn’t) be gathered by reading the email newsletters, so Substack is getting greedy for user info with the app.
Once I saw what data of mine the app gathers I immediately deleted it and went back to using email newsletters that don’t invade my privacy.
This was so close to being great, but due to privacy invasions, this counts as a fail, Substack.
