Beehiiv just added a Top 4 feature. says it is an homage to MySpace, but imo its more so an homage to Substack's recommendation engine.

whenever someone i love recommends me to chat with so-and-so or read their content, i'm always down to connect.

friend referrals are huge for new connections, both digital and IRL.

People are fine with recommendations when they're fitted to personal weights. When they're driving a business outcome and notice the bias, they're less likely to be OK with it.

Yeah, I think they just don't want to say it out loud. But it makes sense. Personal recommendation > Algo recommendation

I usually find my next reads and podcasts via friends, so this makes sense to me!

The MySpace vibes are cute.
