I have a real problem with the paid only substacks. Most cannot afford and need the life saving info. Dr. Makis for one. If they truly cared it would be available to all. Regardless of ability to pay. Thank you. Much appreciated.

A person after my own heart; same here. I just unsubscribe as soon as I get the message inferring that "commenting is only allowed for paid members". ... had a few heated conversations about it as well, with the "owners / editors / writers".

Only posted that link, as I know many who do subscribe and do so many different substcks as well (no chance for me) ... this is where I actually follow him =

FREE OF CHARGE for what I want to read... but you cannot comment, butsomehow that does not bother me here; but on a substack it does.

Agreed. I am a little bit more cynical you could say (I have too much time on my hands on the web sites) ... so when this substack started (no offence intended, but think when !); I wondered why. The answers I found - even from the "official site", caused a wee bit of concern / sceptisism or at least ... made me think...

1. MSM (Mainstream Media) is dying - nobody gives a F*** about it r trusts it anymore apart from the elderly or the dumb ...saw some report that stated it had dropped someting like 60-80 % ....

2. Social media -again ; in general; people have had enough, especially the kids allegidly.

3. SO THEN ?; what next ? ... good guys and girls sayingtheir "honest views" on some new thing call SUBSTACK.

AND I DO BELIEVE THAT MOST ARE GOOD, HONEST GUYS AND GIRLS just gobbing off or telling us stuff; so please do not get me wrong here.#.

...

BUT and a big BUT ... if you need to pay for their site; what information do you need to give

?????; JUST YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS will give them everything they need to know about you.

Only thing I have ever signed up to and paid for is forUK Column and used a "far" neighbour to put her her card details in and I paid her cash.

Now they are saying - ID and and for visiting porn sites (pls pls for validation of age - sounds good hey ?); but it is coming acrossthe web.

For me my laptop goes... smartphone already gone "!.
