This is known for a long time already and the reason why I boycott Substack. If you publish there, you are supporting right wing propaganda. Find a different platform!

    I don't fully understand, TBH. Is it particularly hard to create a substack competitor? Why don't we just... Do that

    I think it's a bold strategy to leave the bigger more populated and used platforms to constantly exist on the smaller less relevant ones that never grow and offer everything the major platforms do just worse.

    Shall we take Stalingrad? nonono it's full of nazi's, lets focus on Dieppe

    If you publish there, you are supporting right wing propaganda.

    Not how taking a cut of subscription revenue works. If you publish right wing propaganda, then maybe you have a point.

    How does utilizing and profiting from a service known to promote and profit extremist ideology aid that service in the promotion thereof? By taking a portion of the profits, you direct traffic and money to the service, which is then directed to extremists. Seems pretty clearcut to me.
