Some top newsletter writers — including Anne Helen Petersen, Lyz Lenz, and Virginia Sole-Smith — have left Substack for Patreon. Email delivery issues, poor technical support and an overemphasis on social features were reasons for their departure. Both Petersen and Lenz also referenced Substack's platforming of Nazis and hate speech in their farewell notes. Here's more.
