Haha! How DO they get first post? I saw 12 already before posting and I think I just got the email a few minutes ago…this is my favorite comment section through of all Substacks…

Hmmm .... maybe Mr. Childers tips off certain commenters when he's about to drop a fresh C&C!

I don’t think so? I believe digitally it hits some of us faster than others, and then you have speed readers. I’m usually a slower reader because I like to fully immerse myself in his glorious writing. 🤣 I’m rarely first or even 10th, but a couple of times mine have moved up to the top rather quickly just from likes. I no longer try to get my comments posted quickly. I just start to enjoy the discussions and pipe up like I would if in person in a room with you all. I am a replier to other’s comments more often than not due to feeling like I’m in a back and forth convo. It is frustrating tho when I have something important to share that day and I want as many people to see it as possible, and I get to the comments section and there are already 150 comments. 🤣 Posting it at the bottom will ensure less than half of the readers see it. Wanh wanh wanh wahhhhhh. So I start reading comments and when I find the first one that addresses the topic I have to share, I’ll reply with it to them. Otherwise it just has to be comment 151 ! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

If you’re reading on the app, a notification pops up even if you’re reading something else.

Agree! Especially us West Coasters, who are already 3 hours behind the curve.

But I love reading all the comments thru out the day. Our C&C Family rocks. :D

I would have to get up at 3:00 am and hunch over my iPad, just waiting, waiting in the dark to have a try at first. 🤔🤔🤔 Not gonna happen.

They are pre-written responses. Pasted the moment he posts the substack.

Here's another thing I do: I'll click on the link in Jeff's email, but then I'll go about my business and save his Substack for last, once I'm ready to start the day. Then I try to guess how many comments there will be when I go in to read it. I've gone from something like 50 comments when I get the email to >500 comments in less than an hour's wait. Only once, a week or two ago, did I guess the number on the button.

This comment and all its replies needs to be framed and hung on Mr Childer’s wall!! It’s the best sign of success and worth more than any journalistic award. I’m still laughing and I want evidence with a picture that he framed it for us. 🤣🤣🤣

I think they were just having a bit of fun. I got a kick out of the thread. It is good to laugh sometimes in this crazy mixed up world.
