Jeff has often edited his posts-- after it got emailed to thousands of people with the uncorrected text, prompting numerous correction comments even after he has already fixed it.
For some reason I no longer get Jeff's posts in my email, don't know what I did (I assume it's my fault).
It's better to click through to the Substack source and not read the emailed version, anyway.
Two reasons for it:
One, the author gets the advantage of a higher open rate, which does not count when only the email is read, and two, the updated version of the post is what is seen, instead of the original.
Yep. Thanks. I know that! But as far as I know, we can’t edit posts. That’s why Jeff apologized in advance in the comments.
I can edit my posts, so probably can everyone else.
Not in the mobile app apparently!
You can easily edit posts—I do it all the time!
Me too. I just deleted one I put up. Not a post; a comment.

Yeah.
