I have to assume Substack is throwing some fat stacks of cash at prominent authors to launch on the platform in 2026, in exchange for ignoring the fact the company openly embrace nazis and white supremacists for engagement

As someone struggling to make indie journalism sustainable, I'll be honest: I've thought about whether I should have done Substack instead of Ghost. But every time I grow weak I then see a story about how Substack just hosted a book release party for, like, a Nazi who thinks germs are fake.

i feel like the benefit of the substack network is overstated too. imo it’s not what it was a few years ago
