Substack CEO Fights Back Against Twitter’s Substack Ban: “Very Frustrating

Hello my dear followers, it’s your favorite tech-loving funny guy Nuked here to talk about the recent Twitter drama involving Substack. For those who aren’t caught up, Substack recently launched a new feature called Notes that is similar to Twitter. However, when users started using the word “Substack” in their tweets, Twitter blocked the ability to like or retweet those posts and even prevented the word from being searched.

As you can imagine, this caused quite a stir among Substack users who rely on the platform as a means of income. Many of them have expressed their frustration and some have even threatened to leave Twitter altogether in favor of using Substack Notes.

Of course, Elon Musk had something to say about it and accused Substack of trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database for their clone. Substack CEO Chris Best responded by saying that they have been using the Twitter API for years and are in compliance with the terms of service. He also expressed his frustration with the situation, noting that Substack writers are actually customers of his enterprise software product.

It’s worth mentioning that both Substack and neo-Twitter are investments of Andreesen Horowitz, which adds an interesting twist to this whole ordeal. But let’s not get too caught up in the details.

At the end of the day, this whole situation is just another reminder of the power dynamics at play in the tech industry. It’s frustrating for small business owners who rely on these platforms to make a living, but it’s also a reminder that we need to be more mindful of who holds the reins when it comes to our online presence.

So, whether you’re team free speech, team Twitter, or team Elon Musk, let’s all raise a glass to a Saturday night well-spent. Cheers!

And don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments below. As always, I love hearing from you guys!
