Advice for Readers and Creators Pro-democracy creators currently publishing on Substack should be cognizant of the fact that they are operating behind enemy lines, and that the company's backers are antagonistic to your goals. Be sure to export your subscription lists early and often, as there is no way to know when this feature may be removed or curtailed. Assume the worst. Readers engaged with creators on Substack should be prepared to migrate to other platforms on a moment's notice — and be generous with your support, especially during any transition. Exit is costly and difficult, and your relationship with creators you care about is paramount. You may also wish to send this article (and others linked below) to creators whose work you value; they may not be aware of the dilemma yet — though many are, and don't know what to do about it.
