I completely agree. I have a sense that we're entering an era of intimacy and tight knit community building. Seeing everyone with a substack now, though, I do wonder if we're all going to over-inundate ourselves with emails?
I definitely think in the last 4+ years the 'build your list' push has increased a ton. To be honest, although I do love Substack (the community, the paywall option, the reach for growth) I would definitely rather do it all on my blog because I own it then and have more control. At least with this you can opt out of getting email notifications I suppose!
