Nicolas Cole
150k followers · #5 Education BestsellersNew recommenders per week, last 12 weeks; the orange bar is this week to date. Same scale in every panel. Dated by Substack; only recommendations still live. Outlined weeks are incomplete: Substack lists only a publication's 50 newest recommenders, so for busy writers older weeks can't be counted, and a 30-day count marked + is a floor.
Rising
Substack ranks Rising by recent growth in paid subscribers. Followers are my daily reading.
Climbed most since Oct 31: Viktoria Verde, PhD new at #1, Erotics of Liberation new at #2, ABC Does new at #3, Jackie A. new at #4, Kel Rakowski new at #7.
