Great talk. Substack is the zen garden. MSM is the chaotic jungle.
What happens when members of the jungle flock to the garden? Cheers to biodiversity. Hope we can sustain a thriving organic culture and avoid astroturfed monoculture.
I actually think social media is the chaotic jungle. Mainstream media is more like a museum these days. The people who control social media have more control over our minds than the institutions that were built on business models from a hundred years ago.
Great talk! I've never felt like I'm in an echo chamber on Substack. In fact I'm zero stress on this platform even when I read or listen to an article polar opposite of my opinion. Thanks for your willingness to do the Ted Talk. People need to hear your thoughts.

Congratulations on delivering such an important message!
It’s clear that your sincerity and deep reflection shine through.
This post reinforces that you’re not only thinking deeply about these critical issues but also committed to communicating them effectively
Thanks for continuing this conversation
You crushed it, Hamish. Great talk.
Honestly, I didn't know Substack until I saw your TED Talk, amazing presentation. I am planning to write a lot here.
Great talk and I like what you stand for. Migrated to Substack months ago and loving it thus far.
I think you did an excellent job! Thank you for advocating for the writers and the consumers! Trust is huge and wonderful to reward it!!
good shit
I would be insufferable if I could actually say "Thank you for coming to my TED talk". Well done you x
You smashed it! x
Congratulations on this, Hamish. I'm looking forward to watching it.
A society based on fear of censorship only produces fear as the outcome.
A society based on freedom of expression produces expressionist freedom.
And freedom is the soil that makes the genius grow.
Substack is just that.
Your humility about your performance and ok some nerves at the beginning (the rest is very fluent) make me a fan of Substack.
This is fresh air
Oh an actual TED talk. I thought it was that annoying ass netspeak that drives me up the wall
Long live Substack!
