I'm not sure if it is just me, but I can't get the survey link to work! It just takes me to your profile?

ahhh that’s frustrating, I’m sorry to hear that! I don’t know why that’s happening for you because I can see some responses coming through!! I think maybe just substack being substack :( I’ll post the questions here in the comments too but obvs very much up to you if you don’t want to answer anything publicly I shan’t be offended!
