Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters

Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

@somecanuckchick I wish more people self-host their own blogs and bonus point if they also have a RSS Feed
@matty I don't know why buy a domain name and then use substack... WTAF IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT WORDPRESS AND RSS FEEDS?!?
@somecanuckchick WordPress also has some controversy around the CEO unfortunately. Man, I love tech companies are total POS where it's hard to find one who have basic decency.. 🥹
@matty It is NOT that hard to install ANY OTHER BLOG software to one's domain... seriously. Substack is worse than Wordpress... Wordpress has issues, fine. There's a lot of easy options out there w/o using absolute f*cking garbage.
@matty I started following a number of people who made the leap to Substack and it's f*cking gutt-wrenching to STOP following them... but, like, Substack is worse than herpes, at this point.
@somecanuckchick Same. It's like I want to support JackFlim's Credit The Creator as he promotes small creators but it's hosted on Substack. I just wish he self-hosted his own blog or something.. anything but that platform would be nice
@matty Substack just needs to DIAF.
@matty Plenty of domain sellers offer blog software that's NOT Substack... there's lots of opensource options. Cripes.
