I see substack.com has become the new medium.com, welcome to my blocklist. Lots of low-substance, clickbait articles from this domain lately.

No idea how these articles manage to reach the front page.

Blogspam will exist everywhere people are allowed to blog, the real issue is your latter point.

Title is clearly click bait. Can't understand why someone would post this here and why people would upvote.

We need a way to downvote postings.

Just in the last 24 hours 20 links posted by the same account. Go figure.

Unfortunately, it seems karma is the only incentive for many users to submit stories.
