My substack "notes feed" used to be exclusively posts of people I followed and small accounts who had recently posted. I thought it was so cool that they'd actually show me a note written by someone with 10 followers. That means people would see my notes too!

A year or two ago, the notes feed completely changed. Completely. My notes feed includes accounts I UN-subscribed from (ex, a very polarizing leftist account) and accounts I've never heard of with many followers. It became boring AF. Even the "articles feed" got weird. If I hadn't opened one of the writers I subscribed to for a month, I stopped seeing any of their posts.

Now it's at the point where I have to look at the list of accounts I follow and go to each one separately just to see if they've written anything good lately.

Substack changed, for sure. I tried searching Yandex for an ownership change or some kind of administrative change at Substack but of course found nothing. As if they're going to publicize the government takeover of what had been a really awesome platform.

Good on you Markus, you convinced me to buy you a coffee. I will get my partner to sign up to substack and let you know the outcome 👍
