"ok so leave"
"no, how will i make money otherwise?"

It's funny to see people joining Substack in 2026 and saying "I am reluctantly beginning a Substack since it's now clearly the only way to make money as a writer. Someone please help me find the check box in the account settings to accept my $250,000/year revenue guarantee from Substack like […]
