  You think the platform is the widget, I think the content is the widget. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

    Your words:

    what people want and pay for is something made by someone other than me.

    They’re paying for the convenience of using Substack’s servers. The Nazi could be spreading their bigotry through direct email, for example, but that is not a profit-generating enterprise. Substack, however, is a profit-generating enterprise. Notice that they said they aren’t even willing to demonetize Nazi accounts. They are happy to make a profit from Nazi content. And for some reason, you think that is defensible.
