Good Content
The content is great. Much Appreciated.
Hopefully, a viable business model emerges that is financially palatable for both the consumer and the creator, and the intermediaries.
It is simply too expensive to pay for multiple independent subscriptions. Perhaps subscribers could and would risk higher preliminary fees to help get an individual entity up to viable scale for a corresponding reward of considerably lower fees when platforms have made it big. Teams of creators is another alternative. There just isn’t enough pocket cash to buy just too many podcasters and writers over the longer haul.

Shocking app.
I had a bad experience downloading this app today. I was encouraged to download the app through a newsletter that I subscribe to about Long Covid. However, when I downloaded the app and logged in, it, suddenly subscribed me to all these other random newsletters and my inbox had about 15 emails welcoming me to these other subscriptions, and encouraging me to pay money to view their other newsletters. Completely ridiculous!!! I signed up for this app only to read about Long Covid, I’m not interested in reading all these other random newsletters that they decided to subscribe me to. So I have deleted my account and deleted the app. Goodbye, you’ve lost me.

Exactly
I identify with many of the situations here. I haven’t been successful so my husband didn’t seem to support me. I realize much of that is his upbringing. You don’t flatter too often. His father especially did not seem to compliment or encourage. Still I often felt lonely.
Jeff, you writing, “Don’t say you’re going to be a writer, say, ‘I am a writer,’”when I started my writing career, changed my life. I had spunk at fifty one and self published four novels in four years, kept a blog going and really believed I could do this, what I wrote mattered.
Then the world felt like it rocked under my feet. I sputtered around but lost some of that confidence. After five years of a slog, some writing, but dull zeal, I’m coming out of it.
I thank you or the mail chimp powers, for inviting me to Substack. I joined on New Years Day. Here’s to success in our writing souls!

Wanted
The gathering and presentation of thoughts and words that please the inner ear in such perilous times bring hope; but they should also bring warning to an open mind. One must control word’s of influence or become weakened by their influence. There are thoughts generated throughout history and one must hear and heed the warning they each contain, just as todays words from Eisenhower gave open warning to those that bear the responsibility to hel humanity survive the constant onslaught of control and enslavement. The presentation’s by substack is the gathering of our outspoken leaders that yes give us hope; but remember to remain alert to all influence or become one of the pied piper’s following.

Terrible app
I have no idea how this has 5 stars, maybe I’m just unlucky. I downloaded this because of a newsletter I’m subscribed to via email and I pay a monthly fee for it. I thought it would be easier to use Substack but that proved incorrect. Could not sign up with my main email after several attempts so I had to use my burner account. Tried to update email but that’s not an option. Whatever, so I find Ancient Origins and subscribe, but it’s only the free version, so it didn’t even do me any good. Each time I try to sign in it makes me send a link to my email, because it never gave me the option to create a password. This stole 20 minutes of my life that I won’t get back. Deleted and done.

I’m new here…
Great format, sub stack. I’ve read only yeah right right here. Yes ma’am gonna have an x-ray on. Do you need to have it? Yeah I was good since it’s her one article here by Steve Schmidt that he just wrote on the January 6 select committee final hearing.
Steve Schmidt has got to be one of the most articulate and elegant writers on political affairs that I have encountered. This article knocked it out of the park for me.
This article presents a situation that engenders both hope and fear. People of good will stood up and called out the evil among us. What hope this gives me! I feared and still fear that their voices would be silenced. Those who sponsored and promoted this kind of power grab are capable of violently enforcing a new power structure in this nation. A power structure that will crush the innocent, the earnest seekers of the means to feed their families, educate their children, and live a peaceful, safe life - the ordinary Americans. It almost happened in Germany when fascism nearly crushed whole cultures.
We must heed the warnings that Steve Schmidt and those like him who see the imminent risk presented by our native born American oligarchs. We don’t have to give up our beliefs about religion or how the country should be run, but we must protect the rights of all to prosper without the threat of the greedy, the power hungry destroying our democracy.
Great job, Mr. Schmidt!

To Dr Robert Malone
Just listened to your 5GW article. Yes, most definitely we are inside of the machine of psychological warfare. I agree with you , but at the end you said that religion was our friend and was helpful in developing personal sovereignty. Yes and no, mass religion is also being used by 5GW technology, to confuse the populist. 5GW technicians can use it to manipulate the populists. I say this as a Bible believing Christian, mass religion is conspiring with the globalist deep state.
The money is so intoxicating!

Strength and Courage
I am intrigued and overwhelmed with the information that Matt is providing. It scares me that it was so easy for Twitter employees to hand over information to the FBI. It astonishes me how many agencies are involved.
It’s hard for me to believe that our future is in the hands of people who have no idea what freedom represents.
I am so proud and feel very close in heart to Matt almost like he could be a son that I want to protect.
Matt has tremendous strength and courage in this undertaking.
I applaud him every step of the way.

The Stories
Come to the app for the stories! This is a great collection of writers that allows you to curate your own daily…or weekly, or monthly publication. Support the authors that you read regularly directly, so that they do not have to modify their writing to fit the conflict-driven algorithms. Way to go, Substack! Easy, usable app with a good reading experience. The only thing I wish they would do is allow subject-tagging and article-level searches.

Couldn’t start it
I downloaded the app and tried repeatedly to open it. Kept getting message to check email to log in. Email came but never worked. I then gave up for while. Very annoying.
Now works ok, and is easier than getting lots of emails.
