If you are like me, you love trying out different platforms and checking out what’s cool.

I have a personal project that I’ve been trying to pick a platform for, so I thought I’d give Substack a try.

It’s touted as a “subscription network for independent writers and creators”, which appeals to me.

I mean, hey. I’m a writer and a creator.

But I just can’t get into it.

As a reader, it’s an okay platform.

I’ll admit to subscribing to quite a few people/publications on Substack, and I’ve always got some notifications for new content available to read.

I like reading in the app, and some of the creators I follow use the audio option so I can listen to their “issue” like a podcast.

As a creator and writer, it’s a toilet bowl.

I just can’t get into it, and the few times I’ve tried it just didn’t work for me.

Looking for some more reasons why you won’t be seeing me on Substack any time soon?

Here you go.

1. Substack tries to do too many things.
