So it’s becoming more horrible over time. Is there any other place we can migrate before Substack detonates the stack not so much due to malice but more so the whole thing becomes unusable?

If I removed all paid Substack shitfuckery, how bad is it for the reader? This platform.

I do rely on the money to Kofi and Smash but since I began crossing the 🇮🇱 Rubicon, the paid sub (was it botted out as long as I stayed on proper message?) hemmhorraged anyway.

And now this weaponized loop of billing "disputes" seems like it can be escalated as needed.

There is no question in my mind, btw, who is minding the WrongThink primarily because Bibi said it in plain English and there is no doubt who is running the corpse of the United States.

The only reason to have paid is to keep the spammers out of your chat, afaik. I have heard that blocking "ethan" doesn't work unless only paid subscribers can start threads.

But does Substack let you know when an individual subscriber has renewed or does it just randomly forward the money? Like do you get a message that AJLG has renewed their subscription or is it just my yearly subscription money that ends up with you with no record of who has renewed their subscription? I’d rather a system where you knew it was me (or whoever) has renewed their subscription.

I do not get alerts on individual subs renew.

You can choose to get alerts when they un-sub which I do not choose to receive because I am not going to go chasing people down to ask them why! 😁

*There are Stackers who do this including chasing me down.

The problem is with continuing to go through the Substack intermediary regardless is that it can be weaponized with chargebacks. And the more paid subs one gets the more the creator can get destroyed.

I would rather send you money directly knowing it was me. I know you get my occasional Kofi’s because you respond directly. This is literally the only Stack I read or subscribe to anymore. I just realised that the age verification shit is coming via a third country through my family member’s broadband plan being with a U.K. provider (I’m not U.K. but I’m not subtle about what country I’m visiting, I’m only back here for Christmas). It’s currently okay if I switch to mobile data. The net is closing. It’s fucked. I wish there was another platform we could all scream into the abyss on😂

I am in the UK and I reckon I can be pretty sure at this point that any of the powers that shouldn't be can snoop on my bank statement as well and see all all my SS payments. The net is indeed closing. Yuval privacy-is-over Harari must have a permanent boner. It is actually quite something to see how it's all speeding up. We're 17 minutes into 2026 here - can't even imagine what it will be like this time next year.

I second that this is the only stack I read anymore. I don’t give money to anyone, but I subscribe to this stack; this community.

If there is a way to do this differently, I’m in.

I see a lot of chatter generally across Substack about this issue. I f I see any viable solutions I’ll post them.

Just so you know, Snowie Leop, the GardenGnome, Dr. Red Pants, now joined by Jimmy Dore and Mikki Willis are going to be back at it in Hawaii next week: keepvaccinationsoptional.org. Now that is a true resistance motto, given the million or so US citizens alone who have been murdered by the Covid Vaxx, not to mention the three million or so seriously injured. I can imagine the “Keep Vaccinations Optional” is destined to be “Keep Safe Vaccinations!”. This is truly the Theater of the Absurd and these four clowns are some of the most absurd.

What troopers.

What brave soldiers.

Yes, what a Resistance motto!

And what a hard gig to go to Hawaii in January.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Mrs Tunes!

“…this gathering empowers people to understand what’s happening now and participate directly by signing and submitting Citizen Memorandums. One day. One room. One unified message: the people are paying attention, and we are acting—together.’

Ahhhh - that’s all we needed, of course, Citizen Memorandums!! Silly People!

It goes on…

“(All speakers and volunteering their time for free.)

We need funds for…

Speaker flights

Lodging (Do you have a room on Kauai or Oahu?

Food (Do you have a restaurant?)

Renting the venues

Marketing: banners, flyers, postcards, radio ads

If you can help with $20+ donation, it will go to help make this event a success.”

Ha ha! they are raising money for this shit?

Is Jewish Steve Kirsch involved in this? Jewish Gavin de Becker?

Chutzpah.

Like Oprah and The Rock soliciting money for the HI burned out.

I agree. The networks have been making the edges more clear.

Again - so much of what I would clump into ‘Marketing’.

I finally got a laptop. Been hard working on my phone. Time to do some real research in 2026.

As an experiment publish a few pro-IDF posts and see if it clears things up.

This is a Happy New year to Someone comment.

Please do not read this comment unless you are Someone.

Dear Someone,

you have just recently, in the last month, come back in my inbox, liking my comments on this substack.

A lot.

You are filling my email inbox with how much you like my comments going back to late November.

Hundreds of likes.

You were gone for so long.....I really thought you were gone for good.

I think it's very creepy how your profile can not be found.

Well anyway, I hope you had a Merry Christmas and helped in a soup kitchen and that you buy the proprietor of this stack many, many coffees and kofis and smashburgers.

And maybe leave my inbox alone unless you develop a profile.

PS I know I don't have to receive Likes in my inbox, but I like to - from other (I think) people.

This is not a new phenomena here.
