Ratings and Reviews
Best news available
I find this is now my go to for news and current events. Mainstream media is now obviously compromised, paid for and unwatchable for anyone with an ounce of knowledge. It’s all single narrative, agenda driven nonsense. Journalism as we knew it is dead, this is the answer!
What’s best about Substack is you can form a trust circle with independent journalists who you can confirm have been correct on a range of issues and report with unbiased content and sources. So far I’ve found no issues with censorship etc.
Love it!
Awful UX
I’ve come onto the app looking to find writers in the topic areas that I’m interested in (tech mainly). The app is difficult and non-sensical to navigate. at the beginning, it just gave me a list of writers that I’ve never heard of to follow… which is just silly, because how am I supposed to choose anything when I’ve never heard of any of these writers. I can’t believe it doesn’t let you choose topic to follow, and then bring writers in from that. Then when I do go and select a bunch of writers (having to randomly selects based on what they’ve called themselves, hoping that they are good ones, because I have no reviews or anything to help me navigate that)… The only thing I’ve left in my inbox with is the crap that made me select at the beginning (some sort of rubbish editors picks). None of which I’m interested in. And all the writers that I just went and clicked on are not appearing in my inbox! Unbelievably frustrating. So massively inferior to Medium. I’m not sure why anyone would use this vs Medium. And no. I don’t work for Medium. I just hope someone at Substack reads this. Also, why am I not paying for membership? Perhaps if you guys had sensible membership subscriptions, you wouldn’t have to go to crowdfunding to raise $2 million.
Fresh look
It’s great to see the Birmingham Dispatch arrive on the scene with a fresh pair of eyes.
For far to long we have needed someone to look at the positives of our great City.
I was born here 69 years ago and have watched all of the old publications just focus on the negatives over the last fifteen or so years.
It’s time to move on and focus on the positives. Welcome new young businesses to our City, Creating jobs and wealth for our citizens.
Well done Birmingham Dispatch for taking the initiative.
