My views increased 30% and I gained 900+ subscribers in 30 days once I understood what changed. Here's what Substack is prioritizing now and how to use it to your advantage.
Great shout-out about this, Wes. I have indeed noticed a recent uptick on my 'stack with restacks of notes of others. I have restacked entire posts infrequently as well, but I may now do this much more.
I'm also going to start restacking my earlier posts, and some notes, more.
What gives this credibility is the sequence. Vincenti showed that engineering knowledge comes from design under constraint, not theoretical abstraction. In The Black Swan, Taleb mocked the idea of Harvard professors explaining flight to birds through theory alone. While others theorize, you struggled, experimented, and only then built a system. That order is what gives it weight — discovery through practical experience and thoughtful reflection.
All of this is helpful, and I appreciate you sharing updated information.
Thanks, will try it (and good reminder to recommend restacking with intention, not randomly. Terrified this platform will become as Medium became)
I appreciate you! Thank you.
Oh, question: how far apart do you time your restocks and notes? Do you just do a restack and a note, boom boom boom?
Thank you for this information.
Thanks for this helpful insight on HOW to leverage the restack!
I’m going to implement it starting today, and see what happens (I’ll def let you know if I see an impact!)
thanks
