Hi friends,

I love Substack. But this platform is not without its flaws. More on that in the main story below.

Quick note: I changed the name of my fun facts section to Factually.

Before we head into today’s stories, let’s look at my favorite quote of the week:


#1 Main Story

The Downsides Of Substack

So, you’re thinking about jumping on the Substack bandwagon?

I get it. I am on Substack.

With all the buzz around writers making good money from their newsletters, it’s tempting to think you’ve found the golden ticket to content creation paradise.

But is it really true?

Don’t get me wrong, Substack is a fantastic platform for many reasons.

Heck, I use it myself and know plenty of folks who swear by it.

But before you dive in headfirst, let’s talk about the stuff Substack won’t put in their glossy promotional materials.

Yellowstone And the Epic Story Of the Dutton Family

With Comprehensive Family Tree

The story of the Dutton family is, in my opinion, one of the most fascinating and ambitious narratives that modern television has to offer.

And the series’ success seems to confirm that.

Created by Taylor Sheridan, this multi-generational saga spans three series and nearly 150 years of American history.

With Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923, a complex universe has been created that tells the story of a family inseparably linked to the American West.

Rumors of further continuation of the Dutton story have been circulating for some time.
