“None of these tactics provides the huge reach to strangers that social can” — and even if we do reach a bunch of people, it’s next to impossible to reach them the next time we post because of the algorithms!

True although same goes for some comms away from social too... Thinking of creating a magazine for example - you don't know exactly who has one or whether you'd reach them again with a following issue but they could find you again if they wanted to

Well sure! Even our biggest fans don’t open every newsletter. But the social media grind is such that it asks us to post and engage to appease the algorithm, while putting out a zine can be re-discovered two years from now when we’re reorganizing our bookshelves haha

Totally agree re: content! I remember there was the same beef with ‘media’ back in the day. We need an umbrella term and imo ‘art’ is its own world (with overlap time to time) From a UX & editorial perspective, ‘content’ is pretty accurate.

I LOVE the "run invitation-only content co-creation experiments" idea. That's a fresh take I hadn't thought of before. This is why I love Substack. I feel like you don't get this kind of depth of ideas elsewhere.
