What today's Substack board reveals
English football still opens the chart, but the second slot flipped. Inside Wolves at 1 and InsideNUFC at 3 are club verticals. The Neter at 2 is an unexplained new name with a 7-month-old Substack and no matching news hit.
Creator newsletters then fill 4 through 10: parenting, style, Moynihan, Callie Coles, Spencer Pratt, Aimee Song, Laurah Wheaton. Pratt's 5-rank drop is the only big mover. Nancy & Wayne and the two all-caps titles from August 30 are gone. This board is not tracking Iran, Nepal, or Dolly.
Inside Wolves and InsideNUFC are club verticals for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United. Spencer Pratt's drop from 3 to 8 is a 5-rank move. Your Brain On Mom's climb from 7 to 4 is a 3-rank move. The Neter's Substack page lists a launch about 7 months ago, which places it in early 2026, not a same-day debut.
