IMPORTANT: This article isn't just for other content creators on Substack; it is also for Substack readers/audiences, and we break down how we believe Substack is algorithmically "chumping" its users.
In addition to the censorship of THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE WORLD, Substack is also distracting/wasting reader's time with clickbait in Notes "suggested for you" and/or inserted into your feed because someone you followed liked it (to appear organic), promotion of controlled opposition voices in the exact same way, and algorithmically curated time-wasters similar to what is being done on X to keep you focused on anything except the fact that the banks and organized crime "government" are stealing a minimum $1.40 MILLION from the typical American worker ($60K annual salary, MUCH MORE FOR HIGHER EARNERS) over a 40-year career and 20-year retirement through inflation, confiscatory taxation/tariffs, and Social Security underpayment.

The Scam of Substack - Executive Summary

The scam of Substack, in a nutshell, was to create a "honeypot" to attract truth-tellers exposing "government" corruption and criminality who had already been demonetized and censored on every other platform with the promise of earning revenue from subscriptions. For a while, Substack allowed these authors to grow organically. Our own growth on Substack was doubling and coming close to tripling year-over-year until someone flipped the switch in July of 2025, when we (and MANY OTHERS!) saw our revenue and organic growth crater at the same time that Substack began "masturbating" us with fake accounts, censoring comments from Substack readers pointing to our work, and simply not publishing many of our articles even though we had hundreds and hundreds PAID subscribers who were paying Substack to deliver them.

We detail many other aspects of the Substack scam including how other "Control of Perception" cartel monopoly media platforms like CIA Google and Twitter/X wouldn't publish content on Substack to their platforms keeping Substack authors stuck in the algorithmically controlled ghetto of Substack.

We aren't just complaining; we are providing a solution: We have built our own censorship-resistant publishing platform (I say "resistant" because we can't do anything about censorship at the spam filter level with CIA Google Gmail, Yahoo, etc., so you still have to whitelist, monitor, and visit us directly to make sure nothing is getting blocked).

Dear Subscribers, We had a BIG week this week (last week since this is going out on Monday!;-) We left Substack LOUDLY!  We exposed how (and why!) Substack is censoring the Art of Liberty Foundation to cover up the illegitimacy and criminality of "government" and the theft of trillions through inflation, confiscatory taxation, and Social Security underpayment. In four years, we had amassed almost 10,000 subscribers on Substack. Our audience was doubling and almost tripling year-over-year, with hundreds of paid subscribers. Last year, we earned over $14,000 annually from Substack and were set to double (or triple!) again... More folks than ever restacked and reposted our articles, recommended our Substack, and syndicated our content on platforms off Substack! We hired a full-time employee to help us with our Daily News wire and maintain the site, and a part-time employee to help with customer service since we were shipping so many books as perks for joining our stacks. As far as I can tell, we pioneered giving physical perks to Substack subscribers! In July of 2025, we began to get censored and shadow-banned on the platform; Substack stopped sending out many of our articles, censored people commenting positively about us, and other shenanigans. At the same time, we believe they began algorithmically promoting controlled-opposition voices, time wasters, and even what appeared to be AI-generated authors/content. We decided to build our own publishing platform where we could never be censored again! It took us five months and $20,000 $25,000 to build! We wanted to make sure that no one could stop us from exposing the MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE WORLD: "Government" Has Been the Biggest Scam in History, It is Stealing $1.40 MILLION from the Typical American Worker ($60K/yr, WAY MORE FOR HIGHER EARNERS) Over a 40-Year Career and 20-Year Retirement and Everyone Would Be Much Wealthier and Live in Greater Harmony Under REAL Freedom! Yesterday, we launched our new publishing platform at ArtOfLiberty.Foundation and I wrote and published the article below (HTML version HERE) on Substack exposing the censorship, providing the evidence, and LEAVING LOUDLY!
