If you call someone's newsletter their "Substack" you are doing PR for a company that is fine with amplifying some of the most vicious extremists in our society -- and got its key funding from people who want Trump to be president and are spending millions to unseat a Democratic senator, thereby helping put the Senate into the hands of Trump cultists.
Substack sites should be called what they are -- newsletters -- exactly the same way WordPress blogs are blogs.

Note: I won't subscribe to, much less pay for, newsletters that use Substack. I regret this in some ways, because a number of people whose work I greatly respect have chosen to publish there.
I do sometimes link to one of their newletters in my own newsletter, which is published via Ghost. I wish they would publish on a different platform where I could whole-heartedly support their work, including with my money.
