I think that Substack has only just become cool, even though it's been founded for so long.

Do you agree?

Yes, I do agree.

Yes.

On intellectual level too.

Right.

And how you can be more analytical and critical about your perspectives and share it with others.

Because as we know, Substack is also a space where you can comment and engage.

One thing that I also thought was really interesting and what we did ask the audience as well is what they liked about Substack compared to other platforms.

So the first one that stood out was long form content and you're supporting writers directly.

Pocket.

Exactly right.

Second one that stood out was, Okay.

Yes.

Actually, when I was researching, I looked up on TikTok and Spotify because I always like to listen to some podcasts when I'm researching.

All of them, and especially the influencers that were speaking about it, were saying, I've never spoken this openly, but I wanted to give it a try.

Here's my sub stack.

And I think exactly what you are saying, it allows people to share more openly and deeply and you can be challenged by their ideas as well.

If that isn't what Substack is, I don't know what is.

Okay, next one that stood out to us was it doesn't feel like I'm doom scrolling, but actually giving the pieces I'm reading my full attention like I used to before Instagram and TikTok existed.
