Hacker News Reader

I'm way too distractable to be able to read with a TV going in the background. It pulls my attention from the text and my own thoughts.

Did Exceed and Dr Pepper pay for the promotion? Seems like almost all of this person's newsletters mention some product or service.

Neither were promotions. It was suggested by substance that I post my newsletter articles to this site and I am entirely new and not completely sure of the rules. I do book reviews for a living. Sometimes I post them on my newsletter. The newsletter is mostly for my fanfiction readers to not miss a chapter and receive it directly into their emails. I don't promote anything intentionally, but it is hard to talk about things without naturally mentioning certain things. I am still learning this site.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding substack, but isn’t that more or less what it’s for? I know it offers features for making money off of subscriptions, I just generally think of it as a place where writers are expressly attempting to make money.

I use it for my newsletter for my fanfiction blog and book reviews. My subscription is free. I may post some articles in the future you have to pay for due to content, but for now, I like it to be entirely free so people can get my fanfic chapters directly sent to their emails and won't miss a chapter
