> “I just want to make it clear that we don’t like Nazis either – we wish no one held those views,” [ #HamishMcKenzie, founder of #Substack ] wrote. “But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetising publications) makes the problem go away – in fact, it makes it worse."
So you offer Nazis your platform and make money off of people spreading #racism and #hatred to (consults notes) improve things? -
"Hamish McKenzie, a former Lead Writer at Tesla, co-founded Substack, a platform that allows independent writers to publish subscription-based newsletters. With $82.4 million raised from Y Combinator, Substack has become a significant player in digital publishing, enabling writers to monetize their content directly."

"We’ve all been jury-rigging a toolkit out of misshapen spare parts: email marketing software for newsletters; ad metrics to measure influence; meme propagators for distribution. It’s like trying to build a car with a hula-hoop for the steering wheel. The results—a failing media business; brains scrambled by social media; public discourse that has become a shouting match—are hardly a surprise."

"When we started Substack, we focused first on building a product that worked for one person and one person only ... This was a critical phase in Substack’s development because it made us feel the writer’s pain at every point of the publishing process and gave us direct, real-time feedback from someone whose livelihood depended on us being competent. It helped us figure out what Substack would be."

"A new kind of commercial media can not only survive but actually thrive. To get there the world just has to realize that advertising is not going to be part of that future."
