None of this is true.

  1. Substack links have been obviously severely throttled on Twitter. Anyone using the product can see this.

  2. We have used the Twitter API, for years, to help writers. We believe we’re in compliance with the terms, but if they have any specific concerns we would love to know about them. We’d be happy to address any issues.

  3. is not and has never been an employee of Substack. He writes a Substack, and gets paid directly by his readers. That writers making money seems to be such a strange concept is telling.

This is very frustrating. It’s one thing to mess with Substack, but  quite another to treat writers this way.
