RED FLAGS 🎈🎈🎈‼️‼️‼️went up for me when Substack wants everyone and the guys from Reddit join FOR FREE. Why is that. Why do you want your browsing habits, EMAILS, your friends‘ emails, BANKING details for free? Is it maybe because they TRACK everything you do online? Sell and trade your data? Spam you with ads? Engage us in shady GET-RICH-QUICK Ponzi subscription schemes? ABSOLUTELY NOT, they want my time clicks and data out of the goodness of their hearts! O GIMME A BREAK! LOL. ROFLROFL 🤣🤣🤣
Slot machine mechanics here as well. The idea is that when you first join Substack, it will get you addicted to the game early on by give out a big prize. The Substack slot machine aka "the algorithm“gives out lots of likes and even comments on your first few posts. The writers get aroused and stimulated and want to repeat that feeling. The slot machine gives out less and less rewards, until the pay-outs end and the hard reality kicks in: the rewards had nothing to do with the quality of your writing. They were random. Now go on Substack and watch these hopelessly addicted bums on their slot machines, thinking they will be the next Mark Twain or Jane Austen. Once you see the casino, I assure you you will never look at Substack the same way again. T
Substack is going full video and shortmessages now. Articles are kind of waste of time as only 15% of high school graduates are able to read a proper paragraph.
I get non views on my posts. The app tells me, get 100,000 more views with a $19.90 boost. I am not giving Elon a single dollar, yet here I am, realizing that others must be paying Elon well to get their posts noticed. Viral posts are bought and paid for in advance. And fuck you Elon, for destroying humanity.
There are a lot of conartists in the niches of Substack, guys that are selling red pill courses, get-rich-quick schemes, and other 9.99 Mickey-Mouse courses for the retarded. The fact that Substack now hosts podcasts like Spotify and vidoes like Youtube tells you everything about these greedy scammers
Fantastic series, Dr P! And very entertaining. What I hate the most about these platforms is the front girls that make the dudes sent them money. It always works to hire a beautiful toth in front of the camera but it just feels wrong. I mean, the gamer girl does exist but she is not a hottie and she would never do this outside a con job set up by some dudes with a money-making mission. Very manipulative and all. Never trust anyone really. Cheers!
A lot of people, especially after Covid, had had enough and are now withdrawing from society and migrating into the internet of false hopes and misbeliefs. They are easy targets. Half of them are of questionable intelligence. They buy course to get more intelligence or to get more attractive or more successful. Nothing’s gonna stop them. And where there is fish, there is dynamite.
Friendship here seems to be mostly transactional, yes. Not universally a bad thing. At the bottom of the pyramid however, it's rather petty behavior and a nuisance. Best! T
Excellent points, Dr. P. I stalked two substackers for over a year that never seemed to get new readers. Yet they were posting regularly to an audience of five maybe. I don’t know why they still kept posting. I stayed not so much for the empathy but more so I wanted to find out if this was real and really happening. They put so much effort in their newsletters, it was heartbreaking. The content was interesting and well-written. Still, I asked the Why, and got delusional replies like „I am doing this for fun“ or „Trying to keep my sanity.“ I believe that especially women, who like to write and read more than men, are easy victims for the Substack scheme. Naturally, I lost interest in people who never grow, it’s natural. Today I have more sympathy for them, because I understand it‘s a Satanic, blood-draining pyramid scheme. The late-comers can never grow, yet they stay because they get addicted to random clicks and have nowhere else to go with their writing. Humanity has failed us.
I agree with your observation, Dr. Pattberg. Western societies are unhinged now. People come hustling all the time. It is a nuisance. No wonder young people grow up with no friends. All “friends” ever cared about a transactions and likes. Nobody wants to do anything anymore without selfies and Instagram reels. Going out with “friends” feels like you are on camera and abused for clicks all the time. Internet is slowly dying though.
Thank's Thorsten. I saw through Substack's Business Modell after a few comments i left on some of their threads. Shortly after i got a substack message "You read 150000 words in the past 2 month", now write something. It's not only the Ponzi Scheme you mention but also the fact that it's a obvious PROFILING Site, pretty much like all the other US based social media sites. As far as Telegram is concerned i'm still in sort of a learning process and hope that it's different. The fact that this is apart from TikTok the only non US Based site gives me some hope. We'll see.
I want to never leave my room and read Dr. Pattberg.
Find stuff on Substack? Good luck. It was not designed to find anything. It shows you random spam and ad stuff every fresh day.

Nice article, Dr. P. I think the West looks shit now.

They are there to make money off of you, and they are gonna find ways to incentivize you and monetize you as much as possible. 😔
Lots of rats and note takers here too. I can feel it.
Yes, mostly European. They are monitoring dissident writers here.
Substack is like ‘Hey, you read mine and I read your piece. We like each other’s, M‘Kay’. Then, after a week, they secretly unsubscribe. 🥲😂😂😂

Substack is going the retard way. Not the way of the stupid though.
They are no hiding it. They are aggressively recruiting in "the Notes".

This was profound. I feel a deep sympathy for the lost writers on Substack. :-(

Yeah, they are monitoring us. We are living on a Human Farm. Best! T
