I don't use Substack [1], but isn't part of the appeal of Substack discoverability?
Like that's part of the reason that a lot of these platforms get popular. Most software engineers could write something to upload, transcode, and host videos in an afternoon or two, but that only gets you 10% of YouTube's value. The thing that keeps YouTube on top is it's hyper-addictive recommendation system.
I assume that Substack offers something like that? Again I don't actually use it so I'm kind of speaking out of my ass.
[1] No one read my blog anyway so there's no pretense of charging for it.
