@quillmatiq Wait, Apple’s IAPs are what kills Substack creators? Not Substack’s repeated implicit and explicit promotion of Nazis?
@quillmatiq all platforms, each one - without fail, no exceptions will enshittify eventually. Is is but a question of when and how.
With substack, the writing was on the wall from day one for anyone around long enough. It’s awful for those writers and journalists and I hope they find a way to move forward from it with minimal damage.
Have your own domain, have your own website. Please do. Do not rely on platforms that monetize behavior, ever.
