There's obviously no solid counterpoint to cost — if it's too expensive for a user, than it's just plain too expensive.

For those for whom $10/mo isn't too expensive, there's now an alternative that's better than Google. And for that, I'm happy.

Substack is an email newsletter tool, not a blogging platform. It never claimed to be a blogging platform. In fact, these "dark patterns" are it telling you exactly what it is: an email newsletter platform.
