Hey Everyone,

There is something that’s starting to frustrate me. While Substack doubles down on ecosystem network advantage and paid subscriptions, its competitors are making important acquisitions in the Ads space. ConvertKit acquirting SparkLoop (which I’ve already spoken about here) was huge and now this.
