What are your thoughts on Substack? I’ve been thinking about creating one for myself and I’ve started following a bunch of content creators. Any that stand out to you that you’d recommend? Have you thought about it as a marketing tool for content creation?

I've only signed up for a few Substacks, and they're focused on history and politics. I recall the platform getting a pretty bad reputation for hosting extremists, so I never thought seriously about being associated with it. I suppose its reputation varies a lot these days, as everyone has a different view of it, depending on which writers you happen to follow.

I did NOT know about Substack platforming extremists. I’m going to look into that because with as much I see it being promoted and leveraged by creators I respect, I wonder if they’ve done something to address that.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)
