“Bestsellers get access to new accent color and background tint options.” — Allowing bestsellers to qualify for free enhancements like this will only entrench an “us and them” atmosphere. Please don’t artificially differentiate people’s creative options because of popularity.
But if you plagiarize the right content, you, too, can become an indisputable best seller and stay on the platform in spite of all the people reporting those plagiarists—and from others' labor and care, find aesthetically pleasing rewards 😍🥰
You spoke to the issue that I felt but didn’t articulate to myself. I’d like the enhancement options, too. As a newbie to writing for my Substack again after a long time away, I tried to make my ‘homepage’ good but the options are terribly inadequate, like lack of enough font choices and sizes.
Nah. I wanna read everything. You learn nothing from things you already know and agree with. Seeing and understanding the other side is what the world needs to be able to do.
THIS. Well said. If we don’t engage, learn from and counteract our ideological opponents (no matter who they are or what side everyone’s on) then we give them free rein. Even if one doesn’t actively counteract the opposition, the concept that we wouldn’t want to learn our opponents arguments and how they’re changing is wild to me. Suppression doesn’t work either in one’s personal life or in the political sphere.
It's the EMOTION. If we could read, learn and listen without emotion or ego then we could truly HEAR and possibly UNDERSTAND what the other side is saying even if we don't agree, we could better get through this Partisan wall in our current political era and maybe get something done for the good of all Americans. At the moment we're not being governed...we're being dictated.
And unfortunately emotionality is promoted as virtue on both sides of the aisle. It’s probably one of the few things both sides genuinely agree on. It’s good to be angry. It’s good to be outraged. It’s even better if we perform our anger publicly! There is broad bipartisan support for emotionality.
Nice to meet someone that understands you can study and understand something and still not agree with it. Understanding does not equal agreement. Rather, understanding is an insanely powerful tool to use against one’s opponent, but in order to gain it, we need to stop, listen and learn first. But before we can even do that, we must learn to stop and listen. That’s unimaginable for broad swaths of people on both sides unfortunately.
An elderly man called the police claiming that the public bath across the street offended his sensibilities with lewd views. The cops arrived, took a peek out of the window, and declared:
— You can't see anything from here.
— Of course, you can't! You have to climb on the wardrobe to see!
Who decides what’s neo-nazi content? What if I want to write an article about how terrible neo-nazis are but I accidentally say one thing that’s not 100% negative and I get banned?
The problem is not whether we should allow free speech. We should. The problem is companies that have algorithms that are specifically designed to feed them content that get them hooked and indoctrinated and addicted, such that they can be force fed ads.
Substack isn’t doing that now but you’re right to be afraid of that happening. But banning content both hasn’t ever worked, but won’t work. Just like banning books never worked.
While some folks say they’re flooded with far-right slop, I never see any nor do I want to. Most of what I engage with is political. So either the algorithm needs update, the far-right sloppers have some way to kloodge it, or there’s something people are doing that unintentionally drives far-right slop to them.

My Jewish Friend's Ronald Giorgio and Michael Gard we're both killed on Altamonte & Santa Monica boulevard by having Michael's head chopped off and Ronald Georgie was stabbed to death and they chopped him up as well.
Now every one of these people have been dead for over 10 years! And not one of the crimes have been solved or even dealt with yet!
I appreciate the A/B testing feature, but as others have already noted in the comments, please focus on more pressing issues, like Nazi accounts/hate content and plagiarism. Related, there needs to be a better system for lodging complaints about such transgressions. The status quo is not working.
1.) Provide the tools and info to eject neo Nazis and
2.) Provide current info on techniques for effective communication.
Frank Luntz et al. are counseling the forces of evil and darkness on how to best position their communication. Let us, the people of goodwill, willingly and eagerly partake of best practices info to be more effective.
can we all stop with this Taliban banning and censoring, Neos N..........zis etc. etc. What about Left, Lunatics, Socialists and Commie. Ideology is dead. Only free thought lives.
LOL you’re a fucking clown. Substack official account sent an email promoting a literal Nazi account with a swastika as its profile pic two weeks ago. It’s embarrassing how easy it is to disprove you goons
If you want a voice for rightist Nazi MAGA shit you’ve got plenty of platforms yourself. We came here to get some rest from you. No there fucking aren’t good people on both sides.
II’m not demanding anything. If you’re one of the Nazi cunts to which folks are referring, my (polite) invitation to fuck way off still stands. If you come into comments with a reasonable, well reasoned argument, who’s to know?
"Bestsellers get access to new accent color and background tint options." - not that I really care about access to accent color and tint options, but what the fuck is this? If you're proud of the new branding elements, why wouldn't you roll them out to all publishers?
Do I ever concur! SS has innate bias against some of us.
I used AI years ago, to summarize massive documentation I had, concerning
crimes committed against me by some in law enforcement. The AI tool said doing
that, was against its values. So, what were its values? That, it would not answer. I
posted screenshots of that thread. They subsequently evaporated.
It seems we are in a world of censorship, where proving what one has to say, is
what gets censored. Only unsubstantiated opinion, seems to currently rule.
After one of my posts, Substack began refusing my accurate logons to my Substack newsletters account. Next, after I alternatively put out the, “Repeat Offenders…” issue, Substack then amped up to wrongfully taking down ALL of my Substack newsletters’ issues.
See -
No Longer Available: (all my Substack Newsletters were wrongly taken down, after the, “Repeat Offenders…” post)
Curious: Have you ever had help that fixed anything, from S-S customer service? Ever heard of this with any of their other writers? And idea why they tolerated the bidding of someone who favored a state bill I’d opposed?
Still missing a key feature (and a very basic one)
Subscribe to unlock the rest of the article (free or paid) to continue reading. It should drive a lot more subs to our pages - mostly free ones in this instance.
You have this feature right now for us to grow paid subscribers (become a paid subscriber to see the rest of the content)
But if we publish free articles - we should have the option to encourage fans to subscribe for free, in order for them to continue reading the article.
Just this morning, I was about to sign up for an annual-only Publisher just for one article that I had been hooked into previewing and then wanting to finish. Lol
Yes. Since adding social media, people can read free without subscribing. This has led to stagnant free subscriber growth. “Likes” and “follows” aren’t what this platform was about.
If you’re a writer, or are not a writer but likes to write, you must be able to generate a good title for your post without having to check with your audience which one is the best! Just imagine if a book writer would first check this with his readers: ‘alright, people! What do you think? Shall I go for this title or for this one?’
This stuff doesn’t make sense to me. A post can have the most catchy and original title ever but if what I read in the first paragraph doesn’t get my attention, I just close it. And… what a pity for the great title but it didn’t mean anything.
As ever, I'd rather you fixed the many bugs in the website. Also offered human support, not some borked AI thing that goes in circles. Don't you want to know when things don't work?
Yes, I've experienced their "agent's" AI help and when I got a human response to my question about a refund on a subscription I was told, "Substack does not offer refunds."
Cue up the class action lawsuits, attorneys are standing by.
This is waaaay off subject, but can Substack please unlock more basic blog features, such as wrapping texts around images, adding more font options (you can't even underline a word unless it's hyperlinked), and auto-suggesting other posts on similar topics from the author's archives?
Just a few simple things from an end-user perspective that would be helpful.

Kinda like tax cuts for the rich. Any fool can bless the child that’s got his own. It’s them what ain’t yet got what needs the help.

Neat. How about enforcing TOS and "content guidelines" and banning, oh, I dunno... Neo-Nazi content...?
Nah. I wanna read everything. You learn nothing from things you already know and agree with. Seeing and understanding the other side is what the world needs to be able to do.

nazis declare themselves as nazis you stupid prick.
I also heard that nazis call people names instead of making constructive, adult comments.
Does this mean that any time someone gets called a Nazi but hasn't declared themselves as such we can just ignore it all then?
Yes, by all means. Ban any content you don't like. So we're all protected from wrong think.
GTFOH.
🤡
Everything I don’t like is Nazi.
Bluesky and Threads ban "Neo-Nazi" content.
Go there and you'll be happy...and so will we.
suck a dick you nazi pedophile.

Yes but new colors
👍🏻. Well said! 👍🏻
Dump the MAGA/tRump/Nazis. Please 😍
If you want an echo chamber, you’ve got plenty of options. So what are you doing here?
Fuck off nazi cunt
The hatred consuming you is destroying you faster than it's destroying your enemies.
kill yourself, fascist.
If you want a voice for rightist Nazi MAGA shit you’ve got plenty of platforms yourself. We came here to get some rest from you. No there fucking aren’t good people on both sides.
You just demanded I leave a public platform while calling yourself the reasonable one. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
II’m not demanding anything. If you’re one of the Nazi cunts to which folks are referring, my (polite) invitation to fuck way off still stands. If you come into comments with a reasonable, well reasoned argument, who’s to know?

Yes! I have wished for this so often. So many people read without subscribing.
Just this morning, I was about to sign up for an annual-only Publisher just for one article that I had been hooked into previewing and then wanting to finish. Lol
Completely get that and it should be 100% transparent.
Creators can decide if they want to use the feature or not...
How do you set up an annual only option? I’ve been looking for this forever and can’t figure out how to do it.
Isn’t this how the preview paid articles are done already ? I’m probably getting it confused
Nope it's separate. I am suggesting a feature where readers need to subscribe for free in order to continue reading the article :)
Yes. Since adding social media, people can read free without subscribing. This has led to stagnant free subscriber growth. “Likes” and “follows” aren’t what this platform was about.
I like this idea.

Would love to know this answer as well
