How it all began
A while ago, I started sharing five of the best pieces of content I found across technology, science and culture with my followers on Instagram as stories each morning. A big part of my morning routine involved consuming thought-proving pieces of content that made me think. I did this for a while and it had become part of the morning routine for a lot of folks who followed me on Instagram.
Why Substack
Unfortunately, the process of creating stories on Instagram is both tedious and tiresome. It also forces you to read on mobile and a single story takes up a good minute or so to create, along with the process of copying the link, title, tl;dr and your comments. I added all my stories to my profile highlights. Unfortunately, Instagram highlights tap out at 100 stories, which quickly rack up. After creating several highlights, it was getting impossible to maintain and create.
I read most of my stuff on the web and having a longer format to write down my through around each piece of content I recommend is invaluable.
