I think the algos are screwed. My supposed “top 3” certainly aren’t.

Really? I wonder if that was true with mine? Seems odd, but I cannot remember if they disclosed how they did the numbers. Simple tracking software probably?

I was a bit surprised at my top three, as you were not among them.

Somebody said maybe their algo was off or something. I do not know how they decided on the top three. It would help if Substack explained it.

Based on his avatar, I assume that Simplicitus is busy leading the war against Ukraine and giving interviews to Tucker Carlson. Nice gig.

Simplicius has gotten so big that it wouldn’t surprise me if Tucker has read his content. Seriously, he’s one of the biggest geopolitics substacks now.

He’s the reason I found substack in the first place, I was looking for Ukraine war reporting that wasn’t sourced to Ukranski Pravda or The Guardian.

Indeed, he has been a valuable alternative to the trash regime media.

Well you have to figure that they have metrics. All that stuff is always running in the background. I rather liked that they surfaced some of it, but I think it should be built into each user’s account, and users should be able to disable it if they want.

I cannot figure out why i have no recap. I use the app but there's nothing about it and your link did not work for me. But i did enjoy yours.
