Every third link this month has gone to Alan’s blog … but so be it. Here’s his pledge not to go to Substack, prefaced by his rationale.
It would be silly of me to make the same pledge, but I feel the exact same way. I’m so glad I didn’t get sucked in early. Life outside the Substack-verse—just like life...

@eastbrad I was toying with the idea of going on Substack, but for some reason hesitated to pull the trigger. Alan’s post helped me understand better why I was holding back. Seems like the right call.
@ayjay Thanks, Alan. Your friend Austin Kleon’s latest sent me back to his Show Your Work, and I thought hey, that’s actually a good idea. So here I am … and not on Substack.
Curious to know what people like Austin and Freddie deB. say about your policy, though. They obviously think they can escape the echo-chamber effect.
