A writer I admire, Benedict Evans, publishes a fine newsletter. I'm glad to say it's not on Substack.
But he's discovered that the company is pulling a fast one on him simply because he subscribes to several newsletter on that site.
Substack, he writes, "has created a public profile in my name and encouraged hundreds of people to follow me there, without my permission or consent. There’s no way for me to control this or turn it off."
Sleazy. Why am I not surprised?
