There are no good platforms for posting text. On neither medium nor substack can you select text without something popping up.

  If only it was possible to have a blog outside those two platforms.

    I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Other comparable platforms that don't have such anti-features yet? How do I know they won't in the future? Or creating a static blog or renting a VPS to deploy a wordpress site? That's obviously a lot harder then posting something on twitter.

      Blogging platforms that you pay for hosting your blog, like wordpress.com, write.as, ghost.org (not sure about popups there). The best assurance regarding future changes is always using your own domain, so that you can use it with a different platform in the future. While self-hosting isn’t as easy as posting on Twitter, it isn’t exactly hard either. You can also pay a service to do it for you, like bluehost.com for wordpress.org instances.
