@petersuber @academicchatter Interesting. But I remember there being issues around the specially selected (secret) ‘Pro’ group to whom give large amounts of money to write a newsletter for its platform? Is the situation described in this 2021 article (and others from around the same time) still the case, does anyone know? And if so does it also apply to academics on the platform?

'For all we know, every single one of Substack’s top newsletters is supported by money from Substack. Until Substack reveals who exactly is on its payroll, its promises that anyone can make money on a newsletter are tainted. We don’t have enough data to judge whether to invest our creative energies in Substack because the company is putting its thumb on the scale by ... giving a secret group of “financially constrained writers the ability to start building a sustainable enterprise.”'
