Writers are fleeing the Substack Tax

Substack is losing writers to rival platforms due to its increased focus on social features and a pricing model that restricts business control. This talent drain is not limited to the platform's stance on hate speech. Writers are seeking more control and flexibility, leading them to leave Substack for other options. This development matters as it may impact Substack's ability to retain top talent and maintain its market share. Writers should consider alternative platforms that offer more control and flexibility.
