We spoke with Chris Best (@cjgbest) following Substack's $100M Series C. Chris shared what sets Substack apart, and why the future of media feels more human: "The core of Substack is the direct connection with your audience." "Recurring revenue hits different. It funds you to be creative, it funds you to take risks." "Substack is where your hardcore people are. It's where you have a real connection with your audience. You can write, post short form, post video, live video, you can have a community." In their announcement, they write: “We aim to prove that a media app can be fun and rewarding without melting your brain. An escape from the doomscroll, and a place to take back your mind.”
