At least substack has a niche with conservatives. Medium, not so much



That's a strange characterization because none of my substacks are anywhere near being conservative.


It seems to have become a meme because a handful of notable conservatives made a big stink about moving from traditional media to sub stack, and liberal Twitter followed on by attempting to paint substack as the gab of publishing or something.

I agree with you, it’s far from a conservative platform. It’s more so a challenge to traditional media, which I think is threatening to the prominent news types on Twitter.


Substack having a notable conservative presense doesn't imply that all or even most are conservative


Funny, I subscribe to three Substacks, and they're all left wing, in one case being written by an avowed Marxist.

Tell me more about this niche?


Sample size is 3, sampling isn't random :)


good points
