This week Substack announced they'd be ditching plans for another fundraising form after recent changes in the market. It's a huge sign of how much things have changed that a buzzy startup like this is having a hard time raising money now.

How could it impact creators using the platform? Maybe we'll see the company make changes to be profitable. But it's too early to tell.

And the featured newsletters this week cover travel, rugby, rewilding, PR, sobriety, and more!
