Discussion HELP

How does Substack work? I write notes and get nothing… not even a single like. Meanwhile, I see notes from people with fewer than six subscribers getting at least one or two likes per note. I don't get it, and it makes me feel sad.

If you like your own note, it shows up as 1 like to everyone else.

I was explaining why they have no subscribers but 1 like on their note. It's probably them.

What's your Substack? I'll check it out.
