MAGAts are signing up for a paid subscription, then disputing the charge, which costs the author a $15 processing fee. I don’t kniw enough about how Substack works for authors but there’s needs to be a way to identify these perpetrators and ban them because if they’re doing it to one author they’re doing it to others.
While it’s over-simplistic to make too many comparisons I can’t help but think of Rajneeshpuram the cult town that took over Antelope Oregon in the 80s.
