“…Even on an anonymous substack profile.”
Substack shows subscriber activity for each published article and displays it starting with the users who interact most with the newsletter. A while ago, I’ve noticed some subscribers who, according to substack, open each letter several times and interact a lot with my blog. I checked their profiles and saw that they read my journal secretly – while apparently proudly displaying dozens or hundreds of different substacks, they “hide” from the “public” (whoever might check their profiles in a largely anonymous forum) the fact that they interact with my materials. I checked several others and discovered that there are lots of “secret readers.”
It reminded me about the hypocrisy and phoniness of the people whose opinions are being successfully formed and manipulated through various – often underhanded – strategies.
There are so many frauds, liars, phonies, content sellers, panderers, shills, limited-narrative-utterers, all of the above, and more — but the “public” apparently proudly associates with them. So many seem to be proud to support phonies or malicious frauds whose goal is purely enrichment and who cater to the “public taste” and sell their “products” to them. Those same people are “ashamed” to show - even anonymously - that they read my journal.
I wonder — why do they read it at all? Maybe they should already press that “unsubscribe” button — that way their “secret” that they ever interacted with my content might be safer.
I understand that there might be exceptions and certain users do not display any subscriptions at all (rather than displaying them selectively) and some show even the journals that they read in order to take critical shots at the authors. However, there is certainly a large category of “consumers” that readily respond to the “advertisements” and proudly belong to the controlled opposition and other similar “communities.”
Thank you all of you who is not “ashamed” to show on her/his substack profile, albeit anonymous, that she/he reads my journal. A special thank you to those of you who liked or commented on my posts, written about the crimes, committed against me under color of law. Given that absolutely all purported “activists” and “reporters” intentionally ignore my reports or any information or evidence of the “official crimes,” your support is very important.
My username was originally anonymous - reason being that I stumbled on Substack one day - one of Steve Kirsch's MANY ridiculous articles that pissed me off because of how insanely ignorant it was. I felt compelled to try to "educate" him (by providing dozens of resources questioning the legitimacy of germ THEORY - and thoroughly explaining why it does not meet the criteria of the Scientific method, Kochs' postulates or River's postulstes). Silly me for thinking he was ever interested in ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC discussion - versus opinion and popular vote/consensus.
Anyway, I never intended on using Substack beyond that - hence why I just had an anonymous name. But I quickly realized approx half of Steve's viewers strongly disagreed with him - in fact, were more aligned with my views. And then I found several other writers who brought MEANINGFUL conversation to the platform.
I was lazy and for awhile didn't bother fixing my name. Until one day I had a friendly debate with someone and they called me out. Fair point (wish I could remember his name....). So I finally took the time to fix it and welp, here I am. Not that my name currently is any more specific than anonymous 😂 but at least people can recognize me a little more when I comment a whole bunch on their articles or whatever.
Hmmm...I've never used a pen name, always my own. I have wondered why so many wish to hide, or maybe it just became normal not to use their real names. In today's America, I can see why. The FBI actually has a list of those who write very conservative articles...perhaps they'll go for them next especially with the insanity in CA. The legislature there just decided that if doctors don't follow what the government tells them is the "truth" or "protocol" that they can lose their license. Communism came here in 1821 and it's been here with it's ugly tentacles now in everything for over two centuries.
I've come to detest my government and most state governments. Every day totalitarianism rears its ugly head and grows more all encompassing on the American citizenry. I wonder if the people will ever wake up or will it take being loaded into a cattle car to realize what has happened.
