> Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters
If we're gonna judge authors for what platforms they're using, does that mean we're all bad guys here on HN too, since a lot of current misery is because of startups and technology companies who used to receive a lot praise here?

- nvr219 9mo agoSuffering from success.
- lqstuart 9mo agoIt's always fun reminding people that the internet was invented by the US military
- embedding-shape 9mo agoSo was the programming compiler, not sure what that's supposed to tell us. Programming languages are violent?

- Applejinx 9mo agoThey couldn't possibly make all that money from just Nazis: I'm given to understand they're doing really well these days. I had the impression that Substack became heavily co-opted by anti-Nazis and have done nothing to defend the feelings of the Nazis they're also happy to host. Not sure what the balance is currently, but again: they couldn't possibly be making all that money from just Nazis, and I think that's instructive.
