I use the queuing feature some, but often only to put off publication till the next morning when I finish it up at midnight or something. Usually I just have a stack of in progress essays waiting for me to get riled up enough to finish them off or have time :) I rarely have enough complete and ready work, or close enough to complete, to worry about having two published too close together, unless it is something like an essay on some point I got angry and wrote during a meeting and a "look I made a thing this past weekend!" post. I don't trust myself to remember to go back and change a scheduled post if I change my mind (or calm down) so I don't even schedule it unless I am sure I want to post.
Thank you for sharing that interview and your thoughts. It inspired me to enable the paid option just because. The only downside I see is that Substack is a bit aggressive in "leading" people to choose the paid subscription, so this might keep some people from subscribing and choosing "none". Then again, you can be precise in your wording, and "quality over quantity" applies I suppose...
