Substack is built more like a field than a feed. It values sustained attention over quick engagement. Even if someone doesn’t “like” or comment, their opening, lingering, rereading, or subscribing leaves a deeper mark—it’s about impression over reaction
Not for Likes, But for Impressions —by Faisal Aliyar
I do not write for the blink. Not for the heartless heart emoji, Nor the noise that follows fast.
I write for the quiet visitor— The one who lingers Just long enough to shift.
Not likes, but impressions. Not numbers, but presence. Not content, but contact.
Substack is not a stage. It is a surface. And what touches it Leaves a trace Inside the soul of another.
This is a slower art. The resonance takes time. But when it lands, It stays.
So welcome, reader— You who don’t need to react. You who sense the field. You who know When something Leaves an impression Deep beneath the scroll.
Fantastic bro 🤝
Nicely written Ashish. Looking forward to more such articles.
Once you see your system as a stream of logged changes, everything else gets simpler.
- replication
- failover
- recovery
such a complex topic explained so beautifully
thank you Abhishek!
