1. substack is a great partner. i want them to succeed. they are also a business. they don’t clutter us with ads or spam us. they only get paid if i enable subscriptions. and i want them to get paid because i want them to thrive. so i think it’s fair that we who get so much from them undertake to pay a little rent around here. nobody likes a freeloader.
2. adding paid will open up new features for emails and get us added to their directories and promotions. this ups our signal and our reach. i think we’re actually one of the bigger substacks on this platform, probably in the top 1% by reach and engagement. let’s turn up the volume.
Hi Charlie, this SubStack platform is very new to me, so I'm just figuring it out. There is a PayPal "Donate" button at my blog, https://linhdinhphotos.blogspot.com/ .
I think Unz believes what he says: namely, he thinks one way, but isn't trying to impose his views. Otherwise, why would he publish, and keep up, all those many anti-vax articles Linh listed?
He didn't feature any of Roberts' anti Covid "vaccine" articles. Hopkins and Atzmon left after their articles against the "vaccines." We don't know why, but it's a curious coincidence. Although Whitney Webb has been lured back, her tremendous work on "vaxx" is not featured. Unlike six previous years, he sent me no money at the end of 2021, so he wanted me gone. I had challenged Unz too publicly on the vaxx issue, and even made fun of his stance.
To be effective as false opposition, you must appear as a dissident, so Unz publishes certain people to give him cover. Kevin Barrett's anti "vaxx" interviews are there but not really heard. My job at Unz, I finally realized, was to be the beard on an Angry White Pussy Pride Parade, and I even said this publicly, in my last article at Unz. For calling Unz out too nakedly, he wanted me gone. Israel Shamir also published anti "vaxx" articles before he disappeared.
Waited over on Unz for your next article. Got tired of waiting, so here I am.
Same. Linh was by far the most talented writer at Unz.
For me the most relatable.
Ditto a few weeks later
Hey Linh. Another refugee here from Unz. Great to see you landed on Substack.
You should consider turning on paid subs. I saw this on Bad Cattitude and immediately kicked down $50. I'd do the same for you.

3. i may not need your money, but...
Well, at least the first two seem to apply.
