I am finding the reason to end writing on this platform is that there are constantly fewer readers of what I write, in part due to fewer people getting the posts. Substack wins, writers lose!

Why does a platform discriminate against certain leading writers to be sure their readers don’t get their posts? Why work so hard and blatantly to hide what they have to offer? I have three identities that are subscribed to many authors on Substack. I notice that fewer of their posts reach me than ever before, and the ones written most against the systems in charge — governments and influential people who are taking Americans into hard economic times.

Why is Substack giving so much attention to writers who are not addressing the problems and offering solutions for the many who are seeking them, instead of giving time, money, and attention to the least impactful writings?

Sadly, Substack is effectively having a continuous book burning going on by throwing the group of us that resist giving into the system that is denying us the right to speak freely and be heard in the proverbial “Town Square” which Elon has proven is possible with the transformation of Twitter to X and censoring with a new tact that has slipped by the ever ignorant public.

I want to offer the opportunity to test those who want to help and reward them if they pass. A career that will make them as wealthy as they wish to become, so that they will become the leaders who demonstrate what is possible. Providing more than “Hopium,” a valid path to self-reliance and independence as a small business of several formats. I want to show others how to contribute to their community, family, and the lives of those who need help, deserve it, and will appreciate it, and to pass it forward to others they meet who need a hand.

Please give them the means to become self-sufficient, independent, and thus free. Consider sponsoring some younger people, under 50 years old, to retrench, come up with a great occupation, a career, a business for friends and family to join in and grow successfully, without any significant cost or sacrifice for the many who join the Co-ops to help build small homes for the locals who will help and appreciate the comradery and friendship, the community that works in unity to communicate and share the power of our human energy.

When united, it is unstoppable and will help many, whereas a divided population will do nothing but watch others suffer and die with no help.

There is no thanks due to Substack, which seems to be subverting my ability to reach my readers and offer them solutions without making Substack and Stripe ever richer at the expense of the writers who get ripped off.

Why does Stripe seem to blow off subscribers by double-charging and taking so much of the pie for processing, yet doing a horrible job and driving subscribers to drop us due to the rude responses to those who complain about the double-billing, for example?

I have lost 5,000 subs since I came to Substack. Soon, I will be pulling all of my writings that were meant to be offered for free, because Substack is making all my old posts available only to paying customers.

This is not in accordance with the terms we started with, as I do not wish to have my readers charged, and Substack has virtually censored all my writing now if the readers do not want to pay Substack to read.

Why is this allowed despite the many writers and paying subscribers who do not get the posts the writers create with the intention of making them available to readers… period?

This is near the end of November, and I am hoping that my downloads of my stuff from this site will be accessible and usable on another platform as well as on my own sit,e which I will revamp for this purpose, as the “Substack Platform” has clearly taken a role in the information controls and what gets to reach the public eye. Sad, for they really had a convincing argument for a free-speech platform that was needed —and now it’s clearly compromised. I rarely get posts from the most controversial writers who tell the truths that need to be said and are now being hidden, without the writers even knowing they are being censored, blacklisted, shadowbanned, or ghosted.

Does anyone know what to do or where to go from here, or are all the writing platforms now compromised, including this one?

Let me know, please.
