If OP was going for visibility by posting it HN, Reddit, etc. then does it matter if it was Substack or his own blog or even the Shepherd site?



Technically, yes. If the thesis is "Google search is inaccurate and overrun with SEO optimized slop and ads", them using a blog utilizing that same SEO optimization feels a bit ironic. Feeding the beast you want to change.
