      White supremacy newsletters sound like something that should be utterly mocked.

      “Welcome back to this edishun of White Like Me! In news this month, I’m still white. But I did get a nasty sunburn on account of how I done had to stand out in the sun for a half hour in my best y-fronts to fix that lazy Jim Bob’s truck before I could take it on date nite with my sister. I blame them coloured folks with their melanine and new world order ties to the Demoncrates weather control sattelights an theyre five gee! When Elon fills the sky with his sattelights, then we gon see some progress! Hail Elon!”

    It’s just a blog platform and most of the people on it seem to be crazy or racist

    They also try to call their blog posts “articles” and pretend substack isn’t just a blog platform for crazies

    I’m not sure which content creators you’re referring to specifically or what you consider sudden but Substack has been around for a few years. Don’t know much about the subscription side other than the fact that authors can put content behind a paywall and make money off it. If you’re seeing people in a particular hobby or niche interest jumping aboard, it could be a follow-the-leader sort of thing where a few people found success there and now the rest want a piece of the pie.

    Hard to say whether you’re missing out since your experience will be heavily dependent upon your interests and the quality of available content catering to those interests. Nothing’s stopping you from taking a look and deciding whether it’s your kind of place though.
