What today's Substack newsletters reveal
The core mix is still creator diaries plus one sports desk and one policy title. Shield of the Republic remaining at 10 after a 6-rank drop is the policy leftover. Inside Wolves slipping 3 to 6 is a Premier League calendar effect, not a deletion.
Names without a news hook are disclosed as such. Substack's public ten is a recommendation surface; it does not print a why field, so the web fetch is allowed to come back empty.
The snapshot is 08:01:32 UTC. Callie Coles jumping straight to 2 is a 8-rank-equivalent debut against yesterday's Ikehaya-at-2 layout. Vanessa's Stitch Club moved 5 to 3 (2 ranks). Aimee Song moved 7 to 5 (2 ranks). Elsabratt moved 9 to 8. Three titles left: Noites Hungaras at 6, Culpium at 8, Ephemera at 10. That is a 30 percent name turnover (3 of 10) with The Neter still glued at 1.
