The emails were overwhelming me too. I downloaded the substack reader and it allows you to turn the email notifications off. Now I just go to the reader and scroll through when I have a chance and I don’t receive the emails any longer. Just a tip in case this would be helpful.

Click on the person outline in the bottom right corner of screen on the reader. Then click on the gear symbol. Then go notifications. It gives you the option to turn on the feature to prevent duplicate notifications. It stops the emails.

I find myself in a bind getting so many Substack emails and clearly don’t have the time to read them all especially when I look at all comments which pull me into conversations some very bright and committed people (some who are reading this). Switching to the App reader and turning off the email notifications would certainly lighten my reading load, but fear I would miss catching some of favorites. But still its less spent on Facebook Twitter and other Big Brother sewer holes. For someone who likes to read the truth Substack is a god send.

I know we can't be "bought", but after following this thread, I'm thinking there's a business opportunity to monetize some sort of information nexus from all the stacks'. It'd be nice to customize how much content and what type you get from each stack in one place. Make the "starburst" more navigable and "plus-up" the value (both to subscriber and author). A rising tide with emergent properties that could more efficiently connect people, ideas and ACTION.

So does Alex Berenson. I subscribed to his stack for a while and started getting weary of fishing thru my mail for my personal mail. Then he decided to sucker punch Malone and for SOME reason attack the use of Ivermectin. He lost me. TBH I was on my way to unsubscribing already. He was more concerned with the fact he lost his Tweet Machine than getting at the truth.

Thanks!

And you're right, there a lot of Substacks worth reading. Sage Hana's is a great read (thought provoking and entertaining). Stephanie Brails Wholistic....

And on and on....

The censorship nazis who want us silenced refuse to understand that, as a rule, we just want the truth. The facts. Honest and mostly objective analysis.

Where the legacy media talks down to their audience, Igor, Steve, Sage, Stephanie, and a great many besides treat their readers with respect. So do I.

The Substack discussion threads are yet another proof that people can discuss, debate, and even disagree without being disagreeable. People can encounter different ideas and viewpoints without being traumatized--and I know I always come away the better for the experience.

The censorship nazis want everyone to have just one set of ideas: theirs. And that just is no way to live.

It’s happening. My vax free honey has been left out of many corporate meetings because he can’t show proof of vax. Last week there was a big meeting in NYC . Bunch of people got Covid and things were canceled and panic ensued. Last night he was out with a couple of colleagues who were there and they wanted to know why he wasn’t at the meeting. He told them. They both said that only the vaxxed people they know get sick and they don’t know any unvaccinated who ever get sick. It is seeping out. Those guys (techies) all had to be vaxxed and got sick anyway. Big lesson for a big company too. Idiots. I’m not allowed to attend any company events either. 😢

I love this. I'm a Substack junkie. I have subscriptions to other outlets like Red State, Epoch Times and Daily Wire but I have less time to get to them because I spend more time on substack. I love all of you. I know there are others with opposite views on Substack too. I don't care to read their drivel. I know what they think. And I find the left to be so angry. They can't win the argument with facts and data so they resort to insults and threats of violence. Actually they even resort to violence. I find it appalling.

Vigilance's avatar

Well Said. Those who want nothing, can have anything they wish. Wanting nothing even still once offered temptations (wealth, power, influence, etc.) further validates the position of trust. Many writers here also have no, or limited, paywall services which means the content stands on its own.

It's important to have this type of place for people to discuss and debate beyond 144 characters. Long-form conversations, Jordan Peterson comes to mind, are critical at moving forward with ideas/concepts. I would argue there is more learning per "stack" publication, when taking the totality of the authors words and community commentary - than entire sophisticated publications of major news organizations. The comments, and the ebb/flow of people in honest debate -- provide relatable context for many readers.

The stack stands much stronger than the house of cards ;)
