As a member of and creator in the Substack community, I find this partnership deeply disturbing. I believed in Substack’s mission and even invested in it. The changes you’ve made don’t seem to align with the goals set out. Each change has removed something I deeply enjoyed on this platform. I’ve just reconfirmed my commitment here by creating content several times a week and enabling paid subscriptions. This development is heartbreaking. It’s one thing to allow content from creators regardless of their politics and values. It’s quite another to tie your brand to folks whose politics and values are questionable at best, and incredibly damaging to devastating in reality. If there is a community here, if you rely on content creators in this space, why is the platform going in a direction that centers the profit above all else without considering the community that drives that profit?
