This is an outstanding resource and very clear rundown on a) why Substack is bad because people apparently still need to be spoonfed in 2026 and b) the MYRIAD options to use instead
That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

Attempting to do the most base level academic history using primary sources on well documented subjects in a time period as recent as the 1980s will quickly dissuade you of the idea that everything is online.
A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.
I think that's a point that will surprise a lot of people. There's a lot of calling the internet capable of accessing "the sum of all human knowledge" and such that I think gives people the impression that any and all records exist online somewhere.

We now have confirmation that the Social Circle warehouse cost ICE $130 million, bringing the total spent on warehouses to $714 million. ICE is also reportedly planning on buying a second warehouse in Oakwood, GA and is finalizing the sale now.
Billions more will be spent on retrofitting/staffing.

Georgia prisons are already a hellhole.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

This really sucks for communities I’ve joined. We’re trying now to find alternatives and everything is bad
Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad
Discord will soon require face scans or ID for all users, or restrict access

I still have my dvd rom set of Rolling Stone and i so badly want to see it again
The date stamps mean that someone cracked the old DVD-ROM set which is unreadable on modern computers because of some driver update. I’ve been saving my copies ever since I bought one for my senior thesis and the hope of reading these again makes me want to cry
I downloaded scans of every Rolling Stone issue published between its inception in 1967 and the end of 2007
Which means I can FINALLY share the greatest celebrity profile I've ever read: Jod Kaftan's "The Oddfather," a look at late-stage Marlon Brando that isn't available online
