Writer & dedicated publisher on Medium.com. There's nothing better in this world than hot tea, good books and warm cuddly animals. Unless it's all 3 at once.

I haven't read the mentioned interview myself, yet, but this is something I didn't realise about Substack.
I know a lot of folks use Substack and I can appreciate why, but I’m unlikely to read things at Substack because TBH, their management is waaaay too welcoming to anti-LGBTQ cranks, racists and even some Nazi-adjacent types. Nilay Patel’s interview of their CEO is an eye-opener.

The last piece of work I nominated and had accepted for a 'Boost' was this one. The writer is a regular on Counter Arts, but I have also nominated work by writers who are brand new to my publication (and sometimes to Medium as a whole). The quality of the work is what is important.

High quality writing is a must and preferably not 'shortform'.
