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.

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.

Substack continued to charge me for months after I did a free trial. I cancelled and even changed my CC number but they somehow got me new card details and continued charging me. I provided CC statements proving the charges and the card number and they basically denied they were charging me. Had to open a fraud file with my provider and cancel my card. Beware before you give them your card info and make sure to check your statement each month to make sure they are not fraudulently charging you.
