I'm slowly migrating over to my private newsletter, but still publishing here, for now.

Publishing here is not an issue. Substack has a different business model than Facebook or Twitter.

Because of the revenue share, the CRUCIAL point is to not collect payments through your publication in order to deny Substack of their 10% cut.

Unfortunately, it is now CRYSTAL CLEAR that the overwhelming majority of the (supposedly) dissident publishers on Substack WILL submit and even worse, expect their audience to do the same.

This is an irrefutable FACT and I can provide plenty of specific examples of such 'dissident' publishers who are well aware of what is going on and yet conciously CHOOSE to continue with "business as usual".

I won't name names but everyone can easily see for themselves who these people are (hint: they have a "best seller" checkmark next to their name).

It's also worth clarifying that pubishing on Substack is not an issue in itself becaue Substack has a different business model than Facebook or Twitter.

Because of the revenue share, the CRUCIAL point is to not collect payments through your publication in order to deny Substack of their 10% cut.

No Ifs, no buts, no exceptions!!!

I will gladly continue to follow you if/when you migrate off Substack.

I never had a large following on Substack, but I closed out all 3 of my mailing lists months ago. Click on my name or profile image to learn more . . . .
