Meta question, but it's been on my mind since I had a post rejected and, rereading it, agreed with the rejection.
The difference I've landed on: content is written to be agreed with. An insight is written to be argued with. Content says "here are five lessons." An insight says "here's the one thing I believe that you might not, and here's why."
The test I now run before posting: could someone reasonably disagree with this? If not, it's content. If yes, and I can defend it, it's worth posting.
I'm curious whether other people have their own test, especially people who post here regularly and don't get rejected. What's the thing you check before hitting submit?

Long recipient list? Click the " ". When the "to" line doesn't fit on one row, the native CSS ellipsis is replaced by a clickable one. Tap it and the list wraps open with every recipient, each with its own copy button.
I've been trying to understand how fellow SAAS builders measure the longer-term impact of a launch.
Upvotes tell you that people noticed your product, but they don't necessarily tell you whether it solved a problem well enough for someone to keep using it. Right?
I'm curious about how you evaluate that gap. Do you focus on returning users, conversations with new customers, paid conversions, or something else?
Especially interested in how you decide what to improve after the initial attention dies down.
