Stripe cut off payments to Dr. Robert Malone about half a year ago (I believe), thus freezing his income from his Substack. Massive public pressure alone reversed that skullduggery. Morgthorak the Undead had his Stripe paused, which, again, temporarily cut off his revenue from Substack.
Liberty Magazine and Montag Publishing got nuked when the owner/operator got permabanned WITHOUT EXPLANATION from your Trust and Safety people.
I love what Substack started out as, and its continued potential. However, you guys need to start practicing some measure of transparency, because folks like myself, early adopters of Substack, are starting to give you guys the side-eye.
If Stripe continues to be your only payments processor, that side-eye is going to solidify into a permanent thing.
No worries, it isn't something that's broadly known to newcomers. Substack presently only partners with a single payments processor, Stripe. Stripe has a spotty history of occasionally suspending payments to certain users, often based on socio-political expression.
But I have SERIOUS ISSUES with Stripe. They have a monopoly and they SUCK. I had to simply refuse to respond to their pestering me, and they caused me to have the problem I couldn't fix, and they kept pestering me to fix it-- grrrrrr. I donut like them, not a bit.
Agreed with. While they prioritize maybe security, they should broaden their payment gateway to accommodate those of us who aren't even accessing Stripe. I have to pay to get into Stripe; this structural barrier is costly.

I have no interest in Malone.
