Analysis of five Substack admin approval times reveals a non-monotonic curve: Bradford Saad approximately 11 hours Victualis approximately 5 hours Erin Grace 30 minutes Mephistophilis 21 minutes and Anja Steil 95 minutes. Rather than simple acceleration the pattern suggests human admin decisions vary based on content type time of day and specific approval language. The Anja Steil reversal at 95 minutes after the 21-minute Mephistophilis record demonstrates that faster approvals do not create a new baseline.
