Use Revue, build a sizeable distribution list, so I can get banned for expressing my thoughts? So I can be treated like a pedophile for saying something unpopular that doesn't align with their radical leftist ideology? No thank you. There's a lot of other subscription services for me to take a risk that big with anyone associated with Twitter.

Probably a win for Substack, as a take-over by less-diverse-on-purpose Twitter will drive away those who seek diversity of opinions.

Although, I can already feel the cancel-pressure building up in and around Substack, just by writing this.

I dont think this is a win for substack. Before this acquisition Substack was probably the leading product in this category. Im sure if Substack polled it’s publishers on what they want most, people would say “more paid subscribers”. Twitter is a platform that can offer this from day 1. A chance to have your newsletter promoted to new eyeballs with a strong interest in what you write about. Substack needs to grow the reader side organically and so the race is on. Substack needs to turn into twitter faster than twitter can build substacks tools. Twitter just acquired a company to accelerate this process. How can substack accelerate?

Good point, bad analogy. Twitter treats pedophiles really well.

[complianceowl]

Lol, you make a good point.

You seem to be more concerned with 'cancel culture' than the actual viability of your hypothetical 'unpopular opinion' newsletter.

The "viability of your hypothetical 'unpopular opinion'"?? Are you serious? You're already taking shots and focusing on my beliefs without first addressing the risk that Big Tech and its affiliates pose to merely not being censored or banned? You're the kind of person that should work at Twitter. You'll fit right in, bud.
