Thank you to everyone for all of their interest in this community round!
Wanted to share a quick update: We'll continue to accept investments for the next 1-2 weeks, until our paperwork is filed and investors confirm their investments. If we're oversubscribed, we may not be able to accept all investments and may reduce individual investments—in which case people will be refunded for the difference. In that case, we’ll prioritize Substack writers who have turned on paid subscriptions and paying subscribers.
If you want to invest, go ahead and place a reservation for how much you would like to, and we’ll let you know how much you’re able to invest when we file our paperwork with the SEC (estimated 1 - 2 weeks).
So the post I made after my less than flattering comments on this thread has resulted in very unusual things happening to my post immediately after my voicing discontent. When your Voice for Freedom calls inside your Heart & Head, how do you answer? Listen to your gut 1st, then Do!
Our Triad: brain, heart, & gut create lead operating systems for our bio-computer w/ a community: billions of organisms forming a bio-gelatinous shell Wii live life thru. Is that you? How is it that normally I get 400 or more opens in the first hour when I post, always over 2000 reads in 24 hours yet after my comments the next post got 91 views 12 hours into the post. Did not change and thus I copied, made a comment on how rare that was, and reposted it to see if the glitch occured twice. Guess what, it was hours before they could even tell me one person opened it while the other stayed at 91 till after midnight when I went to bed. This morning the second post got more views than the first and more hearts, perhaps just a coincidental glitch but it sure felt like Facebook had come over and loaned some of their people to monitor my account. Why is the glitch so specific or did all the writers on Substack experience a reporting glitch on their posts yesterday too. If this is intentional, YOU, whoever did that, is wrong to attack your writers to scare them, and as I did, download all copies of posts in case you go draconian on me for just pointing out these flaws in the casting of their platform into reality. Please share with me why this is possible.
So as not to get buried then, one has to respond to the pinned post to get the attention of the admin? There does not seem to be any other interaction to support, justify, sell, or prove the numbers are worth more than an emotional irrational financial investment without any intention to make money but just to support the chance to publish someplace, anyplace that will let them in some cases. Desperation to be seen and heard drives many to spend money on a venue that lets them do so. I think there is a need for that, a way to feel like you are fulfilling your need to create art of one form or another. Yes this serves a purpose but Substack can make it more than that, and I want to see that rather than just take money from writers who have no chance of ever becoming famous, but do get a platform to reach the smaller number of readers interested in what they have to offer. Most will never write books that get published, Substack could help as many would pay to publish, thus an income source. Why not? No answer and it is simply a merger with another entity if they choose to do that as publishers are soon going to take over this realm too, buying the stock and controlling it as seems to be the path of Rumble and others once claiming to stay censorship free. This clearly is not going to succeed if they depend on bad numbers to raise capital.
What are the odds? Yes, I now have potential subscriber call me who wanted to get my highest cost subscription, $150 which she attempted to pay for multiple times but got rejected. She contacted her bank to see what was wrong with her card to find that they showed repeated attempts to purchase subscription but it was being rejected by Substack or Stripe, not a problem due to her account. She wanted to get access and more, support my work but there seems to be a glitch now with my subscriptions. What a dynamic system that responds to my criticism with problems that exemplify the reasons for my deep concerns in the management and intentions of the platform in the long run. While the auspices of a freedom based platform with some assurances of no censorship I see it does lean away from promoting those of us with writings that they do not seem to like, just like Facebook, Youtube, or any other platform that throttles exposure or creates problems that will drive us away; the voices asking for results, not marketing hype to get 30x values for a declining platform. How many platforms bite the dust and disappear due to mismanagement or neglecting to service the people who support them because of the glamour of their success in words before the results are perfected, constantly improved, or like Go Pro, gone for all intents and purposes. Who is paying your bills? Us, writers, creators, with paid subs, that is the idea isn't it? So when wii have made huge efforts to contribute and build our brand on your platform, not only are these issues I bring up ignored by your teams of support, no new pinned hopes for seeing more or hearing more, for knowing you are addressing these points or blowing them off gives us insight into the irrelevance of our opinions or concerns versus getting people to give more money without promises for change but the hope of exposure without knowing this platform is failing to do just that... get more exposure for the writers, cartoonists, videographers, photographers, musicians, and more that are working to make this platform great. What are you all doing? Striking back at me? Wrong path I suggest because as you might check and see, I write alot, and if I leave, you will have caused it for no more reason than attacking and failing to address concerns many others besides myself share, the many "I"s with eyes that see you are not playing fair with your family. Wii, not just Mii, must be given some voice and results or you are a memory in a history of failed platforms. Do you not see?
Hi, I’m trying to invest on the Wefunder page, but it will not go past “Fund Investment”. I want to pay using a credit card. Please help!! Not sure what the glitch is???

Sorry, that should have read “Fund Reservation”, it does not bring up a way to insert credit card information.

If you’re Canadian and in Ontario, Quebec, or Alberta, it isn’t possible to use WeFunder as our provincial regs ban it. That was my issue too.
Thank you. I’m in the US, the government here hasn’t been allowed to be so draconian - yet. They’re working on it.
Quick question unrelated: I noticed the big orange post button on the SS app disappeared. Is it coming back?
Updating it :) Will be back soon!
