I love this line of thinking.. Colin refers to the idea as "remixing", which broadly means quoting / sharing, reacting, summarizing, etc. some piece of original writing. We had this feature at Substack called cross-posting, what was intended to spark this kind of behavior. We added a prominent button in the UX to get writers to cross-post to their publication, but sadly it never really got traction. https://on.substack.com/i/83370327/now-in-beta-cross-posts We've been thinking about whether we could enable the original writer of a post to offer some incentive for other people to remix their post. I'm a bit jaded by my past experience, but without some kind of initial spark & incentive, I would worry about adoption of any kind of quoteback / cross-post / remix feature. Curious to hear what you think though! And totally no pressure, but would love to hear your other thoughts when you find time to write them out :)
