just my 2 sats…

it can be a good growth hack to direct people to twitter via forums like SN & reddit, it’s probably the place where people are most likely to give you an impulse-follow (rather than signing up for your email newsletter, subscribing to your podcast, etc…).

not sure of bolt’s intentions (and no judgment here either), but by making people go to twitter and then to substack, they could get people to follow them on twitter first, and maybe even on substack too.

the downside of course is that it could also annoy some people who want to read the article directly.
