jarroddicker joshsternberg Yeah, this is the core issue, and it gets more awkward if you don't own the platform or the means to distribution, which is 100% the case with substack and at the very least you don't own the distribution tools even if you are hand cranking your newsletters. The email clients do.Permalink On twitter.com

jarroddicker joshsternberg I mean this is core to a big discussion we're having in ad tech right now too... when publishers are realizing that they don't own all of their own means to distribution on the web... that's what a browser does. And we're having to consider that more seriously.Permalink On twitter.com

jarroddicker joshsternberg The last time publishers owned their distribution end to end was when we used paper carriers and delivery people. :/ Though not even then, that's why those folks had the power to form a union in one point in history -- the last mile of distributing your publication is hard!On twitter.com
