Great mission

1/12/2023 - Software Intern at San Francisco, CA
Positive outlook

Pros

Highly passionate company. Lots of emphasis on culture, writers, free speech.

Cons

Lots of very opinionated employees
What you read matters.

So we hire people who care deeply about reading and writing.

Subscriptions are better than ads.

The business model matters – subscriptions put readers and writers in charge, and they create an incentive system that fosters great work.

We work in service of writers.

Our teams build both for and with writers, providing Substack writers with the best terms, services, tools, and programs on offer.

We believe in the free press and in free speech.

We do not believe these things can be decoupled. You can read more about our views on content moderation on our blog.

Help build a better future for writing.

I realized that this is what I needed to be building. A product that elevates lucid thinking; that forges meaningful connection via conversation; that makes space for and celebrates the nuance of the human experience, instead of flattening it.

Substack’s model depends on the success of writers using Substack – we only make money when they do. “Substack makes it dead simple to start a newsletter and get paid for it.” – Judd Legum, author of Popular Information "Substack gives me a way to connect with my audience on my own terms.” – Lyz Lenz, author of God Land and Men Yell At Me Make something that matters Great writing is valuable.
