> Substack doesn't have an algorithm that recommends you content
Which is a good thing. I don't really need a robot doing to me "you read an article about 'Instagram influencer mauled by a bear', so you are clearly into Instagram influencers and bears, here are 9000 blogs from Instagram influencers and another 9000 from people collecting teddy bears". In fact, I have an RSS feed which is composed of I lost count how many blogs, which I constantly fail to read half of them - and those I selected manually for being the most interesting to me, do you really thing I need another hyper-noisy channel to suggest me more content? If there's something relevant to the article, the article author would likely suggest it anyway. Or other thousand of authors would. Or it wasn't that important anyway, and my 2k+ messages unread in Feedly are calling to me.
