Miguel Afonso Caetano"In all honesty, I think I got it wrong. I was banking on the benefits of the Substack network being like they were several years ago, but after arriving back on its shores I found things had changed. The newsletter certainly got a boost and grew quicker than it did on Ghost, but not enough to justify the trade off of supporting such an abhorrent company (and handing them a 10% cut for the privilege).
Several months ago, I’d already decided I would move back to Ghost but figured I’d wait until the new year since I was about to start writing a book and wanted to get some other things in place first. But then Substack promoted a Nazi publication through push notifications at the end of July, and I knew I couldn’t delay the move for another six months. I carved out some time — which basically meant pulling some very late nights — to move up my timeline.
It probably came at a good time too, because there are troubling signs Substack is trying to limit what was once one of its biggest selling points: that writers could always take their subscribers and move wherever they wanted. I’m not a fan of the “enshittification” concept, but you can clearly see that pressure to turn a profit eroding what made it great. Instead of focusing on publishing tools, it’s trying to become a platform that’s hard to leave (a criticism I’d level of Patreon too)."
