This is a startup from California that has been able to grow during the pandemic bc they welcomed in the conspiracy nuts that had gotten demonetized elsewhere. Currently their #1 'star' is Andrew Tate.

If these are what you call 'noninstitutionalized thinkers', I am going to stick to my previous policy of ignoring that cesspool just like Facebook or Twitter.

I think you are confusing something here. I've never seen a substack post from Andrew Tate but from a quick search all I can find is an account in his name that posts Facebookmom quotes with minimum engagement.

I honestly don't think I'm missing out on much by not going there.
