Everyone should read this tweet.

This person analyzed the most popular substacks. Mine is #6 among the orange-colored “anti-vax misinformation substacks”, thanks to you, my readers, for liking and sharing some of my posts.

The author notes that three authors were already banned from Twitter, implying that Twitter needs to ban the other ones, like me. Bring it on!

He also posted a cool “network diagram” of substacks, showing that, surprise surprise, we share great and loyal subscribers.

Who are the other substackers? Most of them are brave people like Steve Kirsch, Dr Malone, El Gato, Jessica Rose, Dr Bridle etc who I admire, who get no career benefit from speaking the truth, and who cannot be bribed into silence.

We are powerful because of you, our readers. We would be languishing in obscurity without you. All we did was bring you — and us — together. Thank you.

It was a very informative tweet. I now know about 5-6 more people that I should be following.
