Is Substack a psyop?
Of all the platforms I am on I find this one the most infuriating and the least rewarding. As I have pointed out before, 2026 has seen continued decline in my follower numbers here and more recently my article views. This at a time when I grow on every other platform. Is it just a strange coincidence or is there more to it than that?
Substack seems seductive. It has a nice feel to it when writing and it has lots of cool features. But is it controlled by algorithms that don’t like certain points of views - like mine? I was looking at which articles posted here by me have gained the most interest and I can see that they share a common theme - critical of Islam. I think that had caused the problem as perhaps a certain interest group has algorithmic protection and I transgressed against it.
Good. I could not care less if I offend certain sensitivities here. I write what I think, just as I do elsewhere.
Loads of topics interest me, however, and I can also see that the VAST majority of articles I write don’t even mention Islam or Muslims. I am just as likely to tackle the economy, or climate or any one of a hundred other topics.
But for now at least, Substack is a dead end for me.
However I will not walk away from it.
I will continue to write frankly and with honesty.
All I would ask if that those who are bothered consider subscribing to this account.
Look upon it as as FU to Substack!
Yes, Substack like all the other forms of media have become psyops in effect, if not intent. Controlled opposition like the 2 minutes of hate of 1984. However, that which works for you, can be used against you, and vice versa.
Ultimately, that which cannot be sustained will not be.
Most people don't seem to realise and accept that we are at the end phase of western civilisation and quite possibly countries, cultures and nations.
A dying creature desperate to survive even in its final agonies, is at it's most dangerous, even to those who would protect and save it, as per the drowning man scenario.
The end of what we know, isn't the end of all things. Somethings will remain and survive, others won't, yet others will develop over necessity and time. What was is gone, what maybe is yet to be.
Rather than despair, we need to look forward with determination, fortitude and hope to create something better for our descendents out of what was and what may and will be. It is our duty to recognise, plan and prepare for where we are and where we are heading, in order to preserve for future posterity those things which can be saved and preserved, including the knowledge, manner and means of our downfall. So that future generations can learn the hard and harsh lessons and apply them to benefit themselves.
Please don’t leave Substack - I really enjoy reading your articles! 😃
