A publication I respect greatly just switched platforms, from Ghost to the odious Substack. I canceled my (paid) subscription and explained why.
The founder replied that network effects were what mattered.
Bad actors accrete power when good people rationalize the consequences of their choices.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social I told the Serious Trouble podcast (https://www.serioustrouble.show/) that I would not renew my subscription for that reason, and urged them to move to Ghost. Sadly they're staying on Substack.
Another podcast I like, Left, Right & Center (https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/left-right-center/) recently started a Substack. I really need to talk to them about that, and maybe stop my small recurring donation to KCRW.
