Umm maybe it’s the fact substack is outright paying for traffic and lying about it? It’s just their own paid influencers who use it.

Perhaps I'm a bit old-fashioned, but paying writers to write doesn't seem like a particularly nefarious activity to me. I mean, I believe the NYT does it too, and a few other organizations.

Where are they lying about it? They openly admit to paying writers. And no, it's not "just" their influencers using it.
