What are the vibe differences between substack, ghost, and buttondown? Any other contenders in the newsletter races?

^Substack's vibe is messages like this, endlessly trying to sell you Substack; Ghost's vibe is just making a great product and not trying to shove the Ghost Brand in your face

no cats involved! Genuinely I think Substack spends too much effort on sales, doesn't back it up on product + foregrounds the Substack brand at the cost of individual writers. Ghost is the opposite. It's nothing personal, this is how I would describe the vibes!
