Welcome to the Substack mafia, Dr. P., congratulations! Did you really think you could set up shop and outsmart the dons?
Substack controls exactly what people see: which writers get promoted in the app, on Google, and in spam emails. It uses A.I. to fabricate engagement, but the truth is, 99% of Substack’s traffic is dead. Machine dead.
The chosen few at the top get flooded with views (artificially inflated, of course) while the rest of us drown in a spam graveyard of A.I.-generated sludge. The moment you hand over your credit card, however, Substack’s ugly reality becomes clear: it’s a subscriber racket, where every ounce of ‘popularity’ is manufactured fakery.
My advice? Get out while you can. The only ones left clinging to Substack in the end will be rappers, celebrities, and corporate magazines—the ones who thrive on spam culture.
Very well. You are back, but for how long? If you stand out like a Luther in the Substack Church, you will be ostracized like a Luther. You can't stay in the Substack Church. Anyways, always good luck and keep your options open! From Poland
I am pretty sure you lacked indy Korean music (Lol!!)... I will send more elaborate comments about that subject and others but meanwhile just listen to that "bird" thing with the real best voices groomed in traditional classical turned creative and free while respecting tradition. youtube provides translation in subtitles:
Welcome back, I have no credit card and don’t want to be listed. I wonder if you can’t write in opposite language or a kind of disclaimer that you want to expose the fake news or that you are a science fiction writer? Or in hidden language with a key for the-readers? I’m just thinking. Wish you strength! And stay safe. "I recognize no authority, unless my own reason and conscience endorse it.
But even then, I will never fully trust you—for to do so would make me a slave and betray myself.
T.C. Glad to see you again! Your intuition turned out to be right. Substack is disgusting, and I'm sick of "communicating" with their service bots. Management accidently revealed to me that they actively monitor, control, weaken, redistribute, and spam authors, lists, and converted subscribers. Let's say you're new to Substack and naively invite your friends and colleagues. Substack then steers them away from you and toward their own fake authors, who operate a pyramid scheme and are at the top of the chain. Management actively catapults select channels (business partners and paid celebrities) to the top and keeps tens of thousands of naive authors at the bottom. Their views are mostly fake and generated by algorithms and bots and rewarded randomly. The small rewards for aspiring authors, in the form of spiking views or comments, are irregular, designed to keep authors hooked and ready for the next adrenaline rush. Critical authors are harassed, hindered, or simply made invisible. Substack is after the banking and personal information of all subscribers. The author who naively recruited subscribers for Substack becomes worthless to them once they receive the contact information of his friends, followers, and customers for free. Management steals the email lists and turns them into useful zeros for investor Jews like Horowitz and the Chernin Group. We live on a Human Farm.
One of the best on Substack, Money Circus has almost zero readership while the guy is producing an amazing stuff. Furthermore, I often can't "like", comment on Substack's writers I finance. Their bots indeed make you want to be as wise as children:
Yep. I understand their pain. Worse still: Their readership will never grow! Newcomers receive a value score from 1 to 10, and that score doesn't change over time. According to their score, they get assigned their visibility. Substack, like all social media, is about automated distribution, scale, and reach. YouTube, Tinder, and Google use similar technologies. Top 5% get 80% of all readers. Those who join Substack should already have significant influence, marketing teams, and their followers to bring with them. Otherwise, they'd have to marry into the Substack family or invest half a million dollars. The remaining 99% stay where they started: in the gutter. It is impossible to alter ones station. Better to start a new channel. 😔💀
What took you so long? Substack is based on unequal distribution. It profits from recruited well paid writers to recruit thousands of new aspiring writers. 10,000 reads was the social token back then. Those were the early days. 99.9% subscribers got nothing from it. The reads were at best of lower quality, taken from Wiki or the internet. However, if a subscriber turns writer, she can recruit 100 new subscribers, get 5 to 10 views from that at best, and later even less. The new writers at the bottom in this pyramid scheme are now dependent and have to recruit more subscribers, with the promise of fewer and fewer views in return. As a business model, Substack is unsustainable, but highly profitable for those at the top and those who got there first.
Found this before it was deleted on Reddit. Total clusterfuck: “What they're doing to Dr. Pattberg is scandalous. His vandalized Wikipedia entry is disgusting and the worst kind of slander. Anyone who's been subjected to such hostility will never get anywhere on the supervised internet. Like a nasty wound or criminal record that follows one forever. Some celebrities like Mel Gibson or Ye may survive the blacklisting. But not some Peking PhD with a niche education. The trolls and the thought police immediately came down and reported this China scholar for hate crime. Excuse me, but all he did was publishing his complicated views about the world prison.” Amen.
We cannot not exist (in the Human Farm). I am a small PhD in the global educational pyramid scheme of absolut world oppression. If I say anything negative about SS Substack, they cut me off my communication with you, disable my health insurance, and shit into my rice bowl. It's Eat or die. I probably die. T
We have degenerate role models. That includes influencers.
What is Dr. Pattberg at?
For how long though. Migrate over to Ghost, if you can.
I'll always side with native Germans
It is never about the art. It is about marketing and gaming the system.

True, true.
There is no way this ends peacefully. Substack is deleting my comments lmao.
The All Seeing Eye. So true. Keep it up!

Thanks! I am considering my options. Best! T
Long time no see
Welcome back, Doctor
Thanks. Huge new series incoming! T
Thorsten!!
Nice to see you back!

Salut to all of you who don't smell any stench in Thorsten's writings! One love
Fuck Substack! It's all fake. Kind of OnlyFans for "writers".
Be reassured we know you don't use botox or silicon and you big boobs articles are genuine!
One love!
🦶🏻❤️

Yes.
Soon, Substack will require you to post 3 to 7 times a day, like Rurik or Bishop. 😅🇷🇺🇨🇳
Yes, I am super aware that it is a ponzi sheme. Bastards!
Hello, poor people!
In management we trust! #HumanFarm

Yes, yes. I am banned from Reddit since 2009. Also from 4Chan. You can try, if you want.
I was actually wondering what happened to you. I realized recently I haven't heard of your new posts in a while.
Yeah, channel got scraped. More details in a later post. I blame myself and the Human Farm. All the best!
You mean the book, right? xD
