Fair enough.

My point is that the journalist has a following on a platform that they've built over time and is writing about an important issue.

The NDP still posts on Xitter and Meta platforms, the DSA too. At least the writer has made the article publicly available so no proceeds are going to Substack.

I'm not sure if you've seen the alternatives to Substack either. Other than moral criticisms and poor payment models for creators, the only alternative would be to self-host, and that's not easy for non-tech savvy.

Nazi bar is still a nazi bar. There are alternatives. Would be similar side-eyed if they used AI shit.
