Is there a good one-pager on why Substack is bad, both from indie/audience-building and a progressive perspectives, that I can point people to?

@a The thing I always remeber is this clip from an interview with their CEO. https://www.tiktok.com/@decoderpod/video/7221602731998498094?lang=en

Sorry it's a TikTok. Here's the transcription of the full interview: https://www.theverge.com/23681875/substack-notes-twitter-elon-musk-content-moderation-free-speech

And here's where I got the video from: https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/24/23696530/substack-notes-moderation-bigotry-chris-best

I'll keep an eye out for other, better sources.

@edward Thanks. I’d read that piece and it’s both excellent and probably the closest to what I’m after, but i was hoping for something a little more concise for this.
