Comment on What is Substack and why all the sudden do all the content creators seem to be on it?
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 day agoAnd the first part is why a lot of content creators are on it.
At a certain point, a blog becomes more than a hobby. When that happens, a platform like Substack helps people transition the hobby to a job

Or people could use alternative platforms like ghost.org instead of pulling up a chair at the Nazi bar

I’ve never heard of that platform, whereas I have heard of Substack. If I’d already built a following, they already have their alerts set up for my substack. If I’m hoping people will pay me, many have already put their payment information into substack, which is a significant barrier many people face in deciding to pay for something online. At a certain point, ideological purity runs into pragmatic problems.

This isn’t about purity, that’s some right wing religious nonsense. It’s simply about not funding Nazis. This isn’t a hate crime or some far fetched idea. The basic concept of don’t enable and fund Nazis is pretty fucking straightforward. The paradox of tolerance isn’t complicated.
Only good Nazi is a dead one.
If you can’t make money online without licking Nazi boots then maybe your content shouldn’t be monetized at all.
