I think you should do what you're comfortable with. I would hope that readers respectfully take what they desire, and leave whatever they're uninterested in behind. That's the beauty of scrolling. It's your column. But, I strongly feel that if we don't read uncomfortable truths, we're really not learning or broadening our scope of understanding. The reason I am here is because I'm interested in what you have to say. Not because I simply “approve” of your thoughts and ideology.
I'm grateful for the knowledge you possess and time you take to compose and share it with the rest of us. I feel smarter after reading your Substack. 🤔
Ok when you say, “ I would hope that readers respectfully take what they desire, and leave whatever they’re uninterested in behind” are you referring to the chat threads postings from other Substack? Please clarify. Thx
Yes. The chat threads. I voted to ban promotional posts, btw. And it looks like it's a tie between banning them entirely and allowing them only on a weekly basis.
I'm with that 80% cuz I will promote you (through re-stacks, segment re-stacks and "READ THIS GUY; HE'S THE REAL DEAL! re-stacks. I am also so bold as to send your substack to other people I love in a private message hook-up (not like Grindr or Tinder) when I find and love others who remind me of you. I don't have a huge following, but I do want the world to know you (and JoJo and Heather Cox Richardson (see!) You are my top 3.

When it comes to Substack, this quote best describes me, so consider the source:
"I don't know sh*t about f*ck". -Ruth from "Ozark".
You can't turn off chat. Not a good look conducive to open debate or discussion.
But you can't have promoters or trolls running the rails either.
Good luck with your choice. I enjoy your work.

JoJo. She is the goods.
