My big thought on Substack is that it's a good way to support the writers doing the work you like. I subscribe to a bunch but the ones I have full subscription to and recommend are @lionel_trolling, @libbycwatson & @dailyposter

Okay but… if Substack is giving separate advances/incentive payments to specific writers, doesn't that imply that if I use Substack to give money to writers doing work I like, some of that money will be going to writers whose work actively harms me and my civil rights?

Like, it seems pretty straightforward: - I send $ to [cool writer] via substack - [Cool writer] gets 87% of it - Stripe gets 3% cut - Substack gets 10% cut - Substack gives some of their 10% cut to [transphobic freak] - I am now funding [transphobic freak] https://thehypothesis.substack.com/p/heres-why-substacks-scam-worked-so …

Since most of the writers getting grants earn out their money, they are in effect taking a financial hit.
