➿ The Tension of Platforms & Why I Haven’t Left Substack (Yet)

If you're stressed about using Spotify, Substack, Google, Instagram, or any other platforms... this episode is for you!

Today I'm talking about how to choose platforms & tech tools without selling your soul — and why I'm still on Substack even though I kinda hate it. 🫠

Tune in to hear me break down:
  • Tools vs Platforms
  • Questions to ask before you choose a new tool
  • What to do about the bad politics of platforms
  • Why there's no purity on the internet
  • Four strategies for rethinking your choices
  • Tech stack harm reduction
  • The big decision I made about Substack
