Well said and just as with James Corbett - I’ll follow you on your site
The problem is, social media Inc Substack is a trap - herding all and sundry into this new intranet within the internet. So it becomes the norm, the persons websites and the www are just outlying seldom visited reserves.
In general we females prefer reasoned debate reaching agreement. We dont see it as a battle. A blind moron could see that Jim Lee's points are sensible and coherent, but instead of reasoning and growing our understanding it is paying people to just argue and call each other names. We could have sorted the chemtrail ideas in a matter of weeks but it's in everyone's interests to string it out forever and call everyone names.
Btw I'm glad you interviewed Jim . At least it gave him a chance to present an overview. His argument isnt sophisticated in the slightest.. it is basic common sense. The lack of nuance in chemtrail circles is so depressing. It makes me feel more doomy than anything tbh.
Only the very big names can go independent. I follow Neil Oliver, Tucker Carlson, Bret Weinstein, Dane Wigington, James Corbett and a few others, several of whom I was following long before COVID. Back in the early part of this century, Project Camelot and a magazine called Nexus were our brokerages for new non-mainstream voices, and before Substack, they were our sorting mechanisms - our Inboxes. Frankly there is only a handful of people I discovered on Substack that I would follow from Substack to their own websites. However irritating Substack might have become, the reality is that small scale writers rely on Substack for our readership and for our exposure to new voices. I know a few Australian voices who have spat the dummy, but I don't think it is the solution. I don't know what is, but abandoning our current audiences is not going to help.
I think we need to work out how to take control of Substack back - at least as a networking tool, and use it for genuine networking and genuine problem solving.
Yes, easy until repeated 100 times and until we want a new perspective. How do we find new people? I only know of you because of Substack. You are cutting yourself off from new readership.
Yes, maybe, but it could equally be said that you're not a true supporter if you're too lazy to follow people like me, knowing the very legitimate reasons for migrating away from Substack. People in the UK and Australia already have to face digital ID requirements to access my work on Substack. There is also a principle here.

Thank you and I appreciate it.

I agree with you. It’s frustrating.
The music is awesome and I've long wondered where it came from.

it should be easy enough to follow people to their own websites. It’s not much effort to support what they do.

And are you too lazy to follow me?
No. I can follow you and others.
There is no way online to escape Palantir.
One ring to rule them all,
one ring to find them,
one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Okay, so just give up and join the establishment.
