Had this happening to me with Youtube. Videos were “public” to me but out of sight for everyone on the internet. Very demoralizing. After a year, I quit.

Google only really shows you Wikipedia, Reddit, and Quora. It's like they are just a search engine for those 3 sites. All other sites are invisible.

All good Sr. Pattberg, I didn't even get notifications when you came back, I missed you already. The heart of Europe is a bit too rotten but the breezes from the east are always uplifting especially if I'm sitting reading in a powder keg. Omm! peace and joy.inc.

I hate ads. I like Substack because it has no ads. Ads are coming to Substack soon. I can feel it.

The internet is here. It's not going anywhere. However, it will be a feudal internet. A kingdom of thieves. Large classes of peasants competing with bots and programs for ad clicks.

In your opinion, in addition to political parties and news organization, are the intelligence services and government organizations on Substack and forward monetized subscriptions to persons of interest?

The real money for authors on Substack seems to come from recruiting others, not from the subscription itself. The main channels are designed to recruit new members, not to offer fresh perspectives or original content. I also see a lot of classic multi-level marketing and cult-like techniques. Plus, let's be honest, "exclusive access" to content for a recurring monthly fee is nonsense. Once you get into it, that content gets recycled again and again. My respect, Dr. Pattberg, for pointing this out. How did Substack respond to your campaign?

Substack (AI management) does not respond to anything. They just switch you off. Miss the times when everyone had real costumer service people in Bangalore you could chat with. Take care! T

The thing that horrifies me about our current rulers is not that they are cruel, greedy, etc. Rulers have always been like that. It's that our rulers are now on Youtube, Twitter, and Substack.

It's a big red flag when everyone on Substack tells you that you can become 'somebody' on Substack. That doesn’t work. There’s a crucial difference between 'anyone' and 'everyone.' Anyone can reach the top—but not everyone will.
