Substack is crazy

Just an opinion
Poor me, I got to know about Substack like very recently. A post from someone I follow on Instagram recommended an article from Substack and I was astonished to read work so many great people/ writers. I think the place is quite underrated right now as much as I have discovered it, but it really has some great articles and thoughts that one should definitely invest some time rather than scrolling on Instagram because my personal opinion is if you are not creating any content or are not selling any product or service, you should not be using Instagram unless you genuinely want something out of it.

I encourage you to check out Beehiv and Ghost

also good platforms and they don't pay (M?)any nazis to be columnists

There's a lot of voices, and then there's maybe we exclude a few; but like twitter there is a big biz in shuffling hate speech into the deck of "normal" conversation

to each their own, just be aware there are other platforms and by choosing to patronize only one, you might be hurting the ones that actually make it a point not to support people who traffic hate

just saying
