You said it all.

Funny cause it’s too true.

Do I ever lie? Haha

I just loved it, seriously. You are very blunt and I love that too hahaha. I came to a point where I stopped caring about em dashed (I am using ai to edity grammar as English is my second language) because there are people who uses ai in every stage of writing and still has more success than me. So, as long as people resonate with it I no longer care who they think wrote it.

I actually think only ai is optimised to get to the success in any platform that works with an β€˜algorithmβ€˜

But I still can't imagine myself putting a label to my bio, even though it makes perfect sense and you are so very right about the points you made, respect. 🫢🏻

If you have no label on your profile - success is divided by at least 55.

Invent something.

You mean diagnostic label?

Ellis Elms's avatar

Yes! There's no growth without it!

Lol

Most of the Substacks I follow are friends, so I only just recently came across one that was AI-driven. And it took me a while to notice, but once I saw it, it got me wondering how many others were out there. The thing I wonder... what's the point? What the ultimate goal or sales pitch that these 'Stacks are building the audience for?

Ellis Elms's avatar

Honestly? They're trying to build something in public, which should've been built at home – validation.

Wow. Likely very true, and a wiser answer than I'd even thought to look for. πŸ‘

No label... no hashtags... just me. Messages in bottles in a sea of infinity.

You said it all. πŸ€“πŸ‘

So I’m not just crazy, or horribly envious, or just not trying hard enough?

Also I want to be submitting my works to publications... But the guilt of not publishing it on substack and leaving my subscribers hanging... I just can't write fast enough. The volume to do both. The pressure keeps me from even opening this app sometimes...

Ellis Elms's avatar

See? With AI you can do it all!

Because we β€” the honest people β€” just can't find the time for it all.

I laughed, I cried. But, I’m doing what you sayβ€”the life, the essays, the 3+ notes, the promotions and thoughtful comments (and I don’t ditch people) and I’m not using AI. But I am exhausted and wondering how this is sustainable and every day want to take a break. But I don’t. 😞 maybe I should be using AI but honestly it writes like shit and I don’t see how it can help besides an occasional summary or reorganization tip.

Good one, thank you.

Does anyone else find it impossible to tag people??? I can't figure it out, and they don't give me enough options of profiles to tag

Ellis Elms's avatar

I think you can tag people in the comments only when using the desktop version of Substack. The mobile app does not allow that.

Maire's avatar

Ooooohhhhhhh. OK, thanks!

Here's waiting for another haikus train to hit me. In fact, Imma write a long poem with 3 haikus serve as voltas.
