I’ve been a subscriber for YEARS, and couldn’t be happier for you! I found you when I moved to Missouri and you helped me unravel the governmental complexities of Missouri. Now you can help me with the entire country! Wishing nothing but the best for you, Gabe, you deserve it.
Congratulations on your launch on Substack, and please!!! Don't use generative AI to "create" a visual for your newsletter! Generative AI devalues the work of creatives everywhere. All those models have been trained on large amounts of copyrighted work by artists who were never asked for permission and are not being paid for their creation, even symbolically.
If you want a nice visual and you are on a budget, try the photos at Unsplash. These are posted by real photographers who are often willing to allow free use if you follow their license terms, for instance, acknowledging their authorship.
Generative AI companies are copying your newsletter as well. You will only be compensated for this use of your creation if Substack has a deal with each AI company, gets paid, and passes down to you some piece of what they get.
