Like Spotify, Substack gives “Misinfoemation” a platform
So last week I got this email from Substack. I’ve never read one of their emails, but for whatever reason I opened this one. It contained this post from the founders who were coming under fire for giving “misinformation” a platform.
I’m sure this was largely overlooked because the Spotify/Rogan debacle.
Here’s a link to the post, which I can’t say I disagree with anything stated within.

“The key to making this all work is giving power to writers and readers. That’s why at Substack we focus on subscriptions instead of advertising, and it’s why Substack writers own and control their relationships with their readers.”
Another example of why and how gatekeeping works. Good on them!

So many good writers using that platform and making a living. Of course they attack it LOL. Glad they have the stones to stand up for the business model.

Yes! This is what it means to have rival institutions rise up. I just hope this is the tip of the spear. 🙂
