Launched in 2017, Substack has rapidly grown into a significant platform for authors and journalists seeking editorial freedom and financial independence. By early 2023, the platform boasted over two million paid subscriptions and high levels of engagement, especially during the pandemic. Despite its promise to revolutionize journalism, Substack has faced backlash regarding the unregulated nature of content, allowing misinformation to spread and perpetuating extremist narratives. The platform's model enables publishers to monetize their work but raises important questions about the broader implications for media integrity.
Substack has grown substantially since its launch in 2017, doubling readership during the pandemic and claiming over two million paid subscriptions by 2023.
