I'm really disappointed my feed and who I care to read are being manipulated. I've stopped exploring on the site because "suggestions" do not align with my interests. I get particularly annoyed with political directions. Thanks for the update, some of it I don't even understand so won't worry about it yet.
Yes, the feed is now based on the publications you have susbcribed to, the ones you are recommending and maybe notes you read/or persons you follow though less likely.
I have found the inline content menu to be clunky. I don't understand the Notes feed at all in the Inline Content menu. It is not fluid line Notes. It's more static and honestly to me I'd rather see a feed of newsletter posts than Notes.
I have a friend, a paid subscriber, who wants to comment on my posts, but every time she does a substack message appears telling her that to comment she needs to give substack access to ALL her contacts. I think this is outrageous. But I don't even know who to complain to. In addition, I have found when I subscribe to other newsletters, I am automatically subscribed to their recommended newsletters, also outrageous.
Hmm. That sounds like a strange bug if she is being asked for access to her contacts just to comment. I haven't seen that. It may help if you open your post for all to comment, then reset it to paid only in Settings.
The second issue - you need to uncheck the boxes that appears on top or bottom of the menu 'Later' or 'Skip' to avoid being subscribed randomly. This is super annoying, I know!

I don’t like it. I like scrolling and finding new publications and people to discover.
Agreed, that is a better option.

True, and users should be able to set a preference on a writing platform! Thanks for sharing, Pamela!
I agree Jayshree. Tech is always messing with things. Happy to share!
Also, your point is valid on seeing the articles directly versus landing in Notes.

Do no trust the chat
The feed is also determined by Who follows, right?
Not that I know of - they are using publications as the measure, not people - Follows is for posts by that person that appears in Notes.
Thanks a lot, and for your reply.
