alt Hacker News> Substack gives you a way to push content to your subscribers without an intermediary deciding what they get to read.
How do we know they won't start limiting your reach in the future? That's the path basically every other platform has gone down.

There's enough demand for the feature that if they stop supporting it, they won't be able to compete against anyone offering the feature.

You can never know anything about what anybody will do in the future? You can't. Why do hackers always use this argument against everything?

Gmail has categories. So they already are.
The entire pitch of Substack is "You can export the email addresses of your current subscribers at any time"
So if they stop doing the "email my subscribers whenever I post" step, another service will fill the gap pretty quick.
