I did not know the two issues with patreon that you pointed out. That is significant! I wonder if they will change those rules if they are serious about pivoting to newsletters. It seems like something that was not as big a deal when patreon was one of the few places to offer subscriptions for content.
Gmail doesn't seem to like Substack very much. And it's a problem. The de-humanization of Notes is very noticeable. But why did Patreon target "Culture" writers? When Substack has tried to be an oasis for culture writers?
