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

Hi Venkatesh, if you follow me briefly I'll DM you to arrange a time to chat all things Substack. I'm obviously completely unbiased ;)

^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!

I have an established substack newsletter. Exploring alts for a different project.
