My Substack Summer
What I read in Summer 2024
This has been out and making the rounds with everyone for the last week or so and I’ve been sitting on mine till I could determine if it was worth sharing. There are a few aspects of this that aren’t quite clear to me. Chief among them is when these statistics started from? Just the Summer time, so a 3-4 month span? In which case, can we expect this every season and then an “annual wrap-up” that covers the entire 2024 calendar year?
Either way, I didn’t want to be left out, so I’m sharing what my results were. Do with these numbers what you will. In truth, I have not really analyzed them all that much as these stats, while fascinating for a brief moment in time, don’t tell me much of anything that is useful to me in the long run for my Substack plans. So, while I share this, and you may share yours, I hope you do the same as I am and moving on from these numbers. There is still much left to the year and tending that need be done before the Winter darkness and hibernation settles in.
Onward we go!
