Yeah, there's some funny business going on with substack. I've actually had stuff censored and deleted, and I'd like to know what's going on. I hope you get to the bottom of things. (not the ratings, but ... well, you know)

As a side note (and personal disclaimer - my tin foil hat may be on too tight), I've wondered if substack was set up as a "place of refuge" from all the other censored platforms so that all the content can be easily herded/tracked in one place, rather than scattered about in different areas. It would be so easy for everyone to establish a presence there, and then nuke it all in one fell swoop by blocking DNS requests to the domain. (ie, "substack was never there")

Fortunately you don't need a leader board for the world to know you shine. Like a rock star, folks know you by your first name. You are handling all the celebrity beautifully and modestly.
