What's disappointing to me about Substack is its increasing "Twitter-fication." I open the App and I'm greeted not with a list of essays from my subscribers, but a "Twitter-like" social feed of quote replies, mostly from rando's I'm not subscribing to, mostly highlighting salacious, raunchy "I cheated on my husband"-type content.

In fact, it's remarkably difficult to get the app to "Just show me the essays, please."
