What today's Substack newsletters reveal

The October 10 Substack ten is a rank-1 upset plus a politics cluster. SHE MAIL was not on October 9 and now leads. Lincoln Project at 2 is the named political brand. Conrad Black at 6 adds a second politics-and-history row. Tom Cox's three-rank fall is the largest move among names that stayed. Fitness and fragments newsletters from October 9 are gone. Deia Daily is the only rank that did not change. Unlike Spotify, this board swapped four titles, so it is not a frozen catalog.
