Sorta off-topic, but the submitted Substack link only got a single 'like' on Substack an a single comment despite being viral here, top of front page of HN with 107 points. If that is good enough for only a single 'like', what does it take to get dozens of likes, as I often see on other Substack blogs? or many comments? A huge PR campaign? Being famous? What hope does anyone have to make money or success at writing when virality leads to no readers?

Hey Paul! I'm the author :)

I think it has to do with the fact that you can't like if you're not a substack user. Also, I don't think it reached the top because most people agreed with it, maybe the opposite.

So they might be reading (i got around 7k views on it) but not liking it haha
