@davecraige You look highly unprofessional right now. Especially for someone that touts “respecting your peers” and “uplifting others” in your substack. Go be a hypocrite elsewhere. I doubt CZ would want to see someone he follows beating down on other coins.

1/ I am kind of sad that despite bitcoin being here for 10 years, we still need Substack and Patreon... And there is no substitute. It is a hard problem to get normal people to manage their own infra.

If I were to make some sort of regular production where I break down books of theory to be more accessible, would it be Most accessible as videos, podcast, substack, or some other format? Instagram graphic is off the table.

the newsletter might be in your spam folder on your email so check there if you don't see it. furthermore I will be working with substack to figure out this issue.

this _is_ good—"a righteous headline followed by grievance Lorem Ipsum" is my new favorite summary of Glem's oeuvre—but I also feel like the "maybe cis people who don't want to be seen as supporting transphobia should reconsider using substack?" discussion just kind of…vanished?

This is exactly right. Substack subscriptions are expensive compared to magazine subscriptions. It helps to have your subscribers think of the cost as "**** you" money. (For their preferred value of "you")

It's an evening Substack tonight, free to all: Bad news for the borough of Naugatuck, Connecticut. The woke, sensory police have completed their investigation and the town of 31,000 has been exposed as having a problem with, you guessed it, race. https://t.co/oyiLOdEClm

I don’t really have a problem with substack. I like a lot of projects over there. But it’s hilarious when people describe it like it’s a vanguard of writers whose ideas are too heterodox or dangerous to be published anywhere else. Dan Pfeiffer is making a killing over there.

@davidsirota @nytdavidbrooks @cwarzel For sure. All of these big outlets have some great reporters and writers, including the NYT. But I think the main problem which Substack and places like it are addressing is the increasingly repressive, ****genized range of views allowed by establishment liberal outlets.

@ggreenwald @cwarzel It works mostly for ****ysis where a single individual is the beneficiary
When you give money to NYT/institutions, some trickles down to investigative journalism and access reporting, the same reporting used by Substack journalists for their ****ysis.

@Progrockfarmer You covered it. He wastes words. "Cultural and socioeconomic hegemony" is a tautology, but he wanted to use all three words because he thinks it makes him sound smart, and the people who subscribe to his substack pay to feel smart. He and they are the problem whites.
