honest question for my timeline:

when was the last time you actually clicked through and read a full article/essay someone shared?

and if you do read longform on a regular basis, where? substack? mirror? paragraph? email inbox? somewhere else?

rarely read directly from where someone shared. i save to reader for later that day/week/sometimes never lol

i setup an email explicitly for subs so i filter em all to one place. and i try to be selective in who i sub to but basically people whose content i do not want to miss (published at varied frequencies)

to be clear i never actually read via email either — always reader. no matter the source

email subs just help esp in cases of people who don’t publish often, where it could be easily missed on the TL
