I like Ghost a lot. Buttondown and beehiv are supposed to be pretty good. Hell, start a blog and put up a Ko-Fi. Do not let any newsletter site — especially a Nazi sucking one — control your ability to get paid for your own independent project

fwiw, this particular case is not so much a substack thing, but an Apple thing. it's true of any service that allows people to subscribe in-app, and there are obvious reasons to want to allow that. like if Ghost made an app and wanted in-app subscriptions, the same thing would apply.
