I think you're right, it's best to cancel most if not all Substack subscriptions. And not just to avoid supporting the authors who are "controlled opposition", but also because Substack's business model is not transparent. From what I understand, some 'Stack authors are subsidized by the company, while most are on their own. So it's a sort of pyramid scheme.
Agree 100%. Good for you. Truth is as marginalized here by Big Tech as it is anywhere. The Usual Suspects remain the usual suspects. Some may really need to charge to be able to write but....
Money and power corrupt absolutely and absolute power and money corrupt absolutely.
Do people really believe that SubStack does not use the same internet backbones (AWS, etc.) as the government agencies, corporations and institutions? Belly of the beast here.
Maybe

It’s called a “vested interest” is it not?
