Hi Isento. I have removed a site that appears to be purely promotional, and therefore not a proper wp:reliable source. The resume linked regarding the author of the piece did not give me any more confidence, as it says that the author is a 'content strategist' and a PR guy, with the resume highlighting his writing of "listicles and advertorial." I would greatly appreciate additions to this page, but I think we should start with reliable sources. As you can see above, there are many high-quality sources that could be added to the page first. Thanks for your understanding. Jlevi (talk) 12:52, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Isento, you have repeatedly added details about Christgau using very flimsy sources to demonstrate weight. Now you have used an interview in which his substack is briefly mentioned. In no place have I seen a reliable secondary source discussing his relationship to Substack, and I don't think mentioning him has been shown to add anything to the article. You assert that he is an important critic and therefore intrinsically useful for the article, but assertions are not sufficient. Perhaps this detail would be more reasonable on Christgau's own page.

Hi Davidoaye. You recently tagged this article with the advert template. Do you have any suggestions regarding where you see this most significantly? Are there any sections in particular where this issue is most acute? Thanks. Jlevi (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone have a citation for the Skimm being hosted on Substack? It's not cited to anywhere in the page itself, and searching online I can't find any reference whatsoever to this.
> Major newsletters on the service included The Skimm, started by two former NBC producers and having millions of readers.

There's been a controversy about the Substack Pro program and Substack giving financial support to writers with transphobic views. What's the best way to incorporate this into the article?
Some sources for this:
These are distinct issues, but they're linked because they've been brought up in the same context, so I think it makes sense to talk about them together, but I don't know the best way to do this.
Also, I write on Substack and have strong feelings about the transphobia issue, so I'm not a neutral player in this controversy. Qzekrom (she/her • talk) 03:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It would be interesting to compare Substack to similar publishing platforms such as medium. Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 21:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's O.R., but shouldn't we be allowed to add prominent Substack authors to this article even without secondary sources? Like:
Michael Schellenberger
Adam Tooze
Greil Marcus
Nick Hornby, the British "cult" author of "Fever Pitch", of novels and of book diaries/ reviews in "The Believer"
Patti Smith
Elizabeth Gilbert
Margaret Atwood

Hi everyone, I noticed that this page could use some restructuring and updates from the last few years. To address these issues, I propose expanding the history section by moving some material from the "Content" section and adding in recent events. Below is a draft of my proposed new History section as well as a draft showing what the Content section would look like after some material is moved, but with no other changes. I look forward to working with the community to improve this page!
Substack was founded in 2017 by Chris Best, the co-founder of Kik Messenger; Jairaj Sethi, a head of platform and principal developer at Kik Messenger; and Hamish McKenzie, a former PandoDaily tech reporter.[1][2] Best and McKenzie describe Ben Thompson's Stratechery, a subscription-based tech and media newsletter, as a major inspiration for their platform.[3] Best acts as CEO of the company.[4][5]
In 2019, Substack added support for podcasts and discussion threads among newsletter subscribers.[6][7]
By November 2021, the platform said it had more than 500,000 paying subscribers, representing over one million subscriptions.[8]
Substack announced in January 2022 that it would begin private Beta testing video on its platform.[8] In November of that year, they launched Substack Chat where content creators could create private group chats with subscribers.[9]
Also in 2022, the company launched the Substack Reader app for ios, followed by an android version six months later.[10][11]
In April 2023, Elon Musk spoke with Substack's leadership about purchasing the platform, but the proposal was not accepted.[12] That same month, Substack implemented a Notes feature, which allows users to publish and repost short-form content. This microblogging feature was compared to Twitter, and many outlets considered it to be a response to changes at Twitter under the ownership of Elon Musk.[13][14] The launch of Substack Notes resulted in criticism by Musk, and Twitter began censoring links to Substack on its platform.[15][16][17]
In November 2023, Substack introduced new video creation and editing tools, and content creators started launching original shows on the platform.[9][18]
In April 2024, Substack partnered with Spotify to allow podcasters to distribute episodes on both platforms and added new editing features for podcasts.[19] In June 2024, Substack announced a year-long development initiative for TikTok creators called Creator Studio,[20] and also added five-minute video capabilities to their chat function.[21] Video was also added to Notes.[22][23]
By November 2024, Substack had 4 million paid subscriptions. [24]
Substack added livestreaming options for creators in September 2024.[25][18] Following this and the Restrictions on TikTok in the United States, Substack announced the ability to post and monetize videos directly through the Substack app in February 2025.[22] In March 2025, Substack announced that it had 5 million paid subscriptions.[26]

Substack users include journalists, subject-matter experts, and media platforms.[1][2][3] Among the high-profile writers to have used the platform are Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Glenn Greenwald; Seymour Hersh; culture critic Anne Helen Petersen; music essayist Robert Christgau; and food writer Alison Roman.[4] The New York Times columnist Mike Isaac argued in 2019 that companies like Substack see newsletters as a more stable means to maintain readers through a more direct connection with writers.[5] In 2020, The New Republic said there was an absence of local news newsletters, especially in contrast to the large number of national-level political newsletters.[6] As of late 2020, large numbers of journalists and reporters were coming to the platform, driven in part by the long-term decline in traditional media (there were half as many newsroom jobs in 2019 as in 2004).[7] Around that time, The New Yorker wrote that while "Substack has advertised itself as a friendly home for journalism, ... few of its newsletters publish original reporting; the majority offer personal writing, opinion pieces, research, and analysis."[8] It described Substack's content moderation policy as "lightweight", with rules against "harassment, threats, spam, pornography, and calls for violence; moderation decisions are made by the founders".[8]
Major writers using Substack include historian Heather Cox Richardson, tech journalists Casey Newton[9] and Eric Newcomer,[10] journalist Matthew Yglesias,[11] economists Glenn Loury and Emily Oster, linguist John McWhorter, journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss,[12] and authors Daniel M. Lavery, George Saunders, Blake Nelson, Chuck Palahniuk,[13] Marianne Williamson,[14] Salman Rushdie,[15] Tui T. Sutherland,[16] David Bentley Hart,[17] and Skottie Young.[18]

If anyone has any questions or wants clarification, I am happy to discuss and collaborate. Thanks! LS4Substack (talk) 14:16, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Seasider53, nice to meet you! I lifted some of the code from the existing article in an effort to allow for easy transfer. Four of the references are "named" there so they don't show up here but should look fine once they're live, and one NYT source is new. I believe the corresponding references are 3, 4, 24, 7, 12. I hope that clarifies things, and look forward to your thoughts. LS4Substack (talk) 21:06, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had additional thoughts on the second half of the article. The Criticism section includes excessive subheadings which lend undue weight to these topics. At the same time, much of the information is poorly sourced or non-neutral. I suggest rearranging and trimming this content as follows (I've highlighted any new information I introduced in my proposal).:
I am happy to discuss further and explain anything that isn't clear. I look forward to working with the community to make this page better. LS4Substack (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
