I do not read. No one there knows Wittgenstein, Second-order logic, and Foucault better than I do.

Some garbage Cliffite Marxoid pseudo-left slop articles written by an autistic PhD student and some girl beater to laugh at it.

I like the schizos like arx-han or blowtorch's public service announcements. There's another arx-han thread here now. I wouldn't call substackers quality writing though, but you can tell people have good ideas trying to get out. Author bots are killing it though

Why schizo? I was following him for a while, didn't seem particularly schizo to me.

Yes, it seems like we're seeing an increasing fragmentation into micro-cultures. Also, often there is now a congruence between consumer and producer. Poetry is mostly consumed by other poets, furry fiction by furries etc.

i'll take the contrarian opinion here and say that substack stuff (and really blogging anywhere), has finally truly taken off and absorbed all literary endeavors of young white men. i'll never understand why it always seems that the majority of the people that come to /lit/ are against it. if you're into historic literature at all, but particularly letters, essays, short stories, literary fiction, poetry, and whatever else that's above popular genre fiction, in my opinion if you're not reading and writing somewhere on the internet you are missing the moment. you're not going to be a rich and famous novelist plucked from obscurity and whisked away to the french riviera with an advance from penguin random house or wherever. everything else is dead and the blog is where the wagons are circling, so to speak. i don't know why /lit/ hates it so much and i wish everyone here would start something somewhere, anywhere, and share it.

I feel like what we're missing here is bleed-in. Are there any /lit/ writers who are actively writing on Substack, who could share updates on their stories as they're posted here on /lit/? Would the mods even allow such a thing? Right now the barrier between the two sites is kind of opaque.

Because like everything else this board is a crab in a buckets culture that pretends to like something while doing otherwise. We don't even read each others books so why would anyone read some other anon's obscure substack? Based on the largest threads this board has 100 to 200 people visiting everyday and i'd be willing to bet the largest blog here doesn't have more than 50 subscribers who would've been accumulated over a couple of years. This is a board for people to come larp about how many classics they've read or complain about having no gfs and being unpublished anything else is just pure pretending and cope.

alternative media died when it became apparent that people are truly retarded and voted trump (for the second time) because rogan & co endorsed him. you might not like barns and nobles' section for queer vegan palestinian poets but the world doesnt need a larger following for "anon" to parrot ted k and tell people to "read siege"

How many books from 4chan have these people reviewed with their hundreds of subscribers? If you want to disprove the thesis that anons read and review each other answer that because it seems like every author vanishes from this place as soon as they taste a little success leaving struggling and desperate writers to wallow in the pity of a self perpetuating echo-chamber.

For what it's worth substack has been good to me. I was honestly not expecting any kind of audience.

How does finding an audience work on substack? Is there some kind of algorithm that recommends your content to other people?

In my case I got recommended. First by another poet on Twitter and then by another substack user.

Honestly you have to publicize elsewhere.
I got a big influx of about 2k readers, but some leave and only around half actually read it week to week.

I follow authors of books I've read. It's like having supplemental material.
