They take 10 percent, which we all agree with. So far as "greedy organizations" are concerned, Substack is pretty low on that list, since they have created a space for the people you mention (and people like me) to write what we do. Try doing that on X.
You need to rethink your alleged "progressive" views.

If you want to be able to "unlock" all your messages and such at Linked-In, it costs more than a subscript to HCR or to me. With a lot less actual content.
This comment section is as close to social media as I come so I have no idea about the cost of any of this.
I do have a Linked-in account that I used quite a bit when I first signed up, but nothing in the past 5 years or so. And I never paid for the premium addition.
Well, as I said, for those of us who publish a page, Substack has an admin fee and makes sure all our payments are sent to us via Stripe. It's a percentage not out of line with other hosting sites for the same support. It would be impossible to operate otherwise.
I've never gotten a premium account at Linked-In or any of the others. I do pay for subscriptions at other sites here on Substack where I like what the person is doing and want to support them, participate in the community, etc. HRC here is one of the few publishers who allows free subbers to comment, which is why the "mayflies" show up. Most publishers (like me) have commentary limited to paid subscribers, which gives a reason to be a paid subber, and keeps the trolls and Trumpers out (they're all cheapskates, don't want to pay for the opportunity to troll.

So what does Facebook, Tic-Tok, You-tube, Lnked-in et.al. charge? I have no idea.
There are so many other ones that I am unaware of. What if HCR left Substack?
I think Borowitz recently left the New Yorker and is on Substack. I have been too cheap to sign up for his space though.
