I’m not sure which content creators you’re referring to specifically or what you consider sudden but Substack has been around for a few years. Don’t know much about the subscription side other than the fact that authors can put content behind a paywall and make money off it. If you’re seeing people in a particular hobby or niche interest jumping aboard, it could be a follow-the-leader sort of thing where a few people found success there and now the rest want a piece of the pie.
Hard to say whether you’re missing out since your experience will be heavily dependent upon your interests and the quality of available content catering to those interests. Nothing’s stopping you from taking a look and deciding whether it’s your kind of place though.
