I partially agree. Like a lot of the improvements Substack have done this year, but it is indeed turning into another social app. Still a lot of these functionalities can be ignored or turned of. Hope to enjoy your newsletters in 2024! Happy New Year.
I started on Substack in October of this year so for me all the 'social network features' where already part of the experience so to speak :) However, apart from Notes (but only occasionally), I try to ignore all of these extra features. My focus is about learning to write long-form(-ish) posts which I schedule for publishing and also send out as a newsletter. This is what I like about Substack and how I want to use it. So, as long as this does not change I'm good with it. But I guess time will tell ...
happy new year!
