A great take here, I especially like the "just get out there" vibe that you throw in here— unpolished and naturally voiced. Especially clinicians, but in general, I think academics and healthcare professionals feel like they cannot be their natural selves in a forum that is for thought leadership. We could learn a lot from the TikTokers. (And definitely teach them a lot too!)
Yeah you are correct about that. I guess I should have said the people I follow on Substack and LinkedIn. 🤖 and shills can see themselves out the door. Appreciate the comments.

Totally agree!
I agree with some of the premise as a concept, but “ intellectuals”? 😂😂
That’s kind of a reach, SubStack is still rife with bots, paid spin doctors, and generally not too bright people.
It has all the warts and shortcomings of any other social media platform, it’s just packaged and delivered differently.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a platform where intellectuals could trade ideas without having to wade through the gutter?
A place where ideas, thoughts and critical thinking could roam free and unencumbered by the typical ills of social media.
Now that would really be something.

Welcome! Great post though, it really has me thinking about how to create a space like I described.
I’ve been into VR development lately, so it has me thinking of creating that space in an immersive world.
Maybe that’s the part of the key.
Making it a VR world will definitely eliminate the bots and the shills while also limiting the participants.
Then people could take whatever they develop there, out to Substack or whatever they choose, to deliver to broader audiences.
I think you're onto something.
