Hadn't seen that before. I don't have any alternative to Substack as it's free to use. I plan to move to a platform called Ghost (just as the Manchester Mill and sister titles have done) but only when I am looking to monetise Eyes & Ears - Ghost charges flat fee while Substack takes 10% cut.

I'm not seeing that. I follow several Substacks and none are right wing. The attraction of Substack to me is it is easy to use and free - so long as I don't charge for subscriptions
