Substack feels like another algorithmic mess

I thought Substack was going to be a place for quality writing, but I’m finding it hard to actually discover great content.

It’s crowded with AI-generated posts and essays that feel like they were slapped together while standing in line at the grocery store — thought, proofreading and a little editing go a long way.

On top of that, the scrolling, commenting, liking, and cross-promotion mechanics are just like every other platform, and I'm tired of sifting through the performances.

Is there a better way to filter through the noise?
