I guess I'm Gen Z (25) but my impression is blogging was a bigger cultural phenomenon 10+ years ago. I remember looking for books on the Arab Spring a few years ago and many of them were explicitly about the role that blogging played in the various revolutions. Whereas I don't see anyone talking about how the blogosphere has influenced more recent social movements (but more on Twitter and TikTok).

Great to hear about your achievements Matt! I think Substack has a lot of pull for a particular "free thinking" kind of demographic, I'm not sure this appeals to Gen Z or at least what I've seen of them. Well done again! All the hard work and consistency is paying off.

I turned 21 last week 😭😭 so I'm already out of the 20yo club. I'm trying to write consistently on my Substack, but there is no need to worry: there's no way I'll take your crown

Well,I am 25. I started a substack nearly a year ago. My consistency has not been at the most optimal.

But I am Nigerian btw.

I'm Gen Z (23), but I'm not sure if that says anything about me culturally, other than indicating some degree of inexperience. Also, was wondering if you recognized the title of my substack, since I expect most other people would not.

Austin Scholar is another one. They have 3k subscribers and graduated high school either last year or this past year if I remember correctly.

Their Substack is about self-educating and I find their posts interesting.
