Direct Connection and Curated Subscriptions

The power of platforms like sub-stack and podcasts lies in providing a direct connection between creators and their audience, offering a curated selection of content. These platforms offer a contrast to attention-grabbing social media algorithms by allowing individuals to choose who they engage with, through subscriptions in the case of podcasts and emails in the case of sub-stack. This direct relationship between creators and their audience is key to the success and influence of these platforms.
