As you know, I greatly value your posts and your insights.

Regards a paying subscription I made a decision a long time ago to a) not offer a paid option myself, and b) not to pay for any others.

There are a number of reasons, foremost of which is where does one draw the line? There are many contributors I would like to support but I simply cannot afford to.

It would be better is SS offered a general subscribers fee which would be then disseminated amongst those one subscribed to. It would be less of an individual contribution but it would (I believe) attract a lot more paid subscribers. Naturally, this money would not be disseminated to the likes of Malone who I would never subscribe to. Just my own personal list.

It shouldn't be difficult, given the mastery these guys have over algorithms!

Another main reason is the simple one of accountability. When do you start to write/react in order to keep your subscribers happy rather than because you 100% believe in what you are writing?

I've had people unsubscribe from my meagre stack because I have vehemently disagreed with them on an issue. I don't care.

But would I care if I was making $1M a month out of it?

This is the "dilemma" I believe a lot of the alt.media are in. The best current example being the whitewash convid enquiries and the blanket dismissal of them by the alt.media.

I think Substack is just another fully controlled forum, and for that reason it is not really about the money; it is more about containing dissent and reshaping it into something less threatening for those who work against the public interest. The check marks, as we both wrote about, help create the illusion that these are the people you should follow because they have the badge, and they wouldn’t have the badge unless they were successful, smart people we can trust to defeat this tyranny. Thanks for your comment. I am glad to have anyone read my Substack and comment on it. No payment is needed. I only ask about that because I see the game being played with the check marks, and I don’t expect I could ever get there. I also wanted to see if cash is still a thing for people. I use cash a lot myself. https://www.farsideoffringe.ca/p/check-mark-credentialism?r=paf6o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

That's what they want Renee, complete control.

The truth is still not allowed. Sure it maybe acknowledged even 'mentioned' once in a while but no momentum is ever gained!

If that doesn't convince you...

16 months on there are still no media reports of the following historically significant information which would unite people and bring the whole 'covid' house of cards down.

Now we have the UK COVID inquiry ''whitewash'' psyop natrrative pushed by popular 'alt' media and various prominent social media influencers who have likely not even watched the inquiry.

Nuff said. ;-)

Oh I figured it out. I just massively reduced my price on substack, to make one month the equivalent of buying me a coffee, and 1 year is like buying me 4.

It's interesting. For those of us who like to research and dig vice consuming content it's I would argue easier over time to see anomalies in the well known "Resistance" fighters and the topics they cover or ignore. These anomalies overtime point to their actual purpose.

When I first started out here I was wide-eyed-and-bushy-tailed about preventing future families from going through what mine went through and leading people to better health. I thought it would be just censorship but now I know it's much more than that. I'm not stopping but my expectations have become lower.

Thank you Renee

I echo what Ralph said as well as many others in that Substack needs better or more versatile payment options...assuming they care about money of course lol.

Thanks for your comment. You have a big heart, and it’s great to have you here! I hope we can all do our best to help others see what we see—and enjoy better health. No charge! I’ll probably keep asking for contributions now and then, since people sometimes value things more when they’ve paid something for them. But I won’t put any posts or comment sections behind paywalls, because I want us to have a space to talk freely outside of “notes.”

I'm sure the money is irrelevant to the owners of SS. It was more from the contributors viewpoint I was thinking.

I like it to GBNews, which is just an outlet for the dissafected right. It'll never achieve anything worthwhile.

I'm even suspicious about the Proton group which is meant to be whiter than white. But based in Geneva, the playground of the Rothschilds. 🤔

Why hasn't Proton launched a stack?
