Interesting and after checking SimilarWeb for "substack.com" it came back with some interesting results, in that news and blogs are the #1 and #2 topic, with 60% of substack being male and the highest age range in 25-34 age group. Fascinating.

Thank you for such a valuable list! On that note, I'd like to share my own Substack newsletter, which I launched last month. I thought you might find it interesting, and who knows, it might even be a great addition to the above 🤓 You can check it out at https://explainlikeiamfive.substack.com/.

It's called eli5 (as in, explain like I am five), and I post AI-infused, human-curated knowledge bites from a wide range of fields, from science and technology to culture and beyond.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Wow solid work compiling this list. Excellent! If anyone’s looking for writing covering the gamut from memoir to fiction to book reviews to culture, check out Sincere American Writing.

The fact that many of the top substacks are on the topic of Politics, with culture a close second behind, is interesting if not somewhat expected. And I thought I was smart by choosing to ignore this topic, a passion of mine for decades, and go in a different direction! Live and learn.
