Hey everyone,
I am not going to pursue Substack any longer.
However, I have created a website:
https://www.undercurrents.co.za/
I have started with a daily news email - I will scale it in time to incorporate more content, including podcasts, contributors and the like.
I do intend to make this the most dominant media business in South Africa and will pour all my efforts into doing so.
If you are keen to hear more from me, please subscribe to Undercurrents (it is free).
Signing out

Good luck. Will subscribe now.
I bookmarked your site. I have a similar dilemma. I have my own site and would prefer that people subscribe there, but I continue to copy my meme posts to Substack because I do pick up new readers that way.
I wouldn't use Substack except that they allow me to download the list my subscribers' email addresses. This is a kind of guarantee that they can't censor me, because I could just go direct via email if they do that.
I don't bother with Twitter anymore because they've booted me off four times now for politically incorrect memes, including twice under Elon, and I have no way of re-establishing contact with my readers from Twitter. Too much risk.
