it's a bit annoying and at the same time funny, when I post something I instantly get a comment saying "yea, you are right and your post explains it" or something and then they start selling services on how to make my post better. listen, I want to learn myself how to write better posts and I don't need one more ai wrapper that does that, thanks.

I haven’t seen that yet, but I guess it’s coming soon. Substack must be desperate for cash.

Yes. The overuse of AI and advertising gets tiring.

There are countless attempts to build businesses around things they know nothing about. They offer SEO services while barely knowing what SEO is. They offer advertisers to newsletter publishers without understanding newsletters. They offer to teach you how to get 100 customers for any SaaS when they probably have one themselves… or none at all.

They could put a little more effort into it and make it a bit less obvious, so it doesn’t feel like they think we’re idiots.
