the algorithm dependency is definitely the biggest hurdle if you want to stay independent. i've seen a few people get massive spikes from notes, but then their traffic completely flatlines once they stop engaging with the feed. it feels like you're trading long-term ownership for short-term growth. if substack decides to change their discovery logic, your subscriber acquisition cost could skyrocket overnight. i still prefer having my own domain and mailing list hosted elsewhere so i have more control over the tech stack. are you planning on driving traffic from outside sources like linter or x, or are you counting on their internal discovery features?
