Ouch, hoisted by your own petard. Start a Substack positioning yourself as a reformed AI enthusiast who now rails against the economic havoc the technology leaves in its wake. I'm only half joking. A lot of folks on Substack are pretty hostile toward AI, and they would probably eat that up.

Thanks. Substack is hostile, trust me I have had a Substack for about an year. You really need to standout with a lot of convicing to even have atleast 1 person even pay to read your newsletter.

Another reason, Substack payments channels are not available in some regions which means you can't have some premium posts and again just redirecting to a lets say Buy Me Coffee page does not always work to a majority of people there.

Maybe you could have some tips on how to approach this in your experience
