This is a comment Bill posted on Emerald Robinson’s post, Substack Has Gone Woke, which we cross-posted here…
via Bill Rice Jr.'s Newsletter (Substack)
I've written at least five articles on this topic. Here’s a summary of the topics I’ve addressed. Any “intelligence” from other Substack authors and readers is appreciated. More articles on this topic to come soon.
“Is this the beginning of a coordinated effort to staunch the influence of Substack?” - January 6, 2024:
***
“More disturbing Substack Trends” - March 6. I present data from my own newsletter on the metric of how many “story reads” produce “subscribers” … and how this metric has changed DRAMATICALLY in recent months.

“Something has changed with Substack” - My deep dive into my own subscriber metrics tells me this might not be paranoia.” - March 5, 2024;

“Is someone attacking my Substack?” - May 13, 2024:

I belatedly reached 6,000 total subscribers … but my “Spider Sense” tells me this number should be a lot higher by now - June 11, 2024:
Our Note
As this shift has been ‘covertly’ going on for several months, we are reassessing our presence on Substack.
We will remain on Substack for now but are returning to a trial basis with them.
Wordpress was our platform of option previously and right now is a primary consideration, we are looking at other options as well, including running WordPress in sync with wherever we end up.
Communication of our developments will be sent directly via email to our subscribers and important updates will be shared with the public.
One Consideration we have is Wimkin, launched August 2020. After a rocky start, they are now up to 9 million users.
Here is an interview with the founder of Wimkin, Jason Sheppard…
BTW - WIMKIN came about from Jason’s first website which reported on COVID-19 in the early 2020s which he renamed from the World Must Know to the World Must Know Now…
Our Experience in testing Wimkin - everything is laid out well however page loading is reminiscent of DSL even dial-up days. It is slow... We had Wimkin under consideration, unfortunately this is a deal breaker. Feel free to share your experiences with Wimkin by replying to this comment...

Federal, State Officials Aiding Criminal Misconduct, Corruption, Injustice and Sexual Abuse "Under Color of Law"
Eighty traffic stops in four years. Five robberies. Home invasion and death threats by armed Sheriff Deputies with AR-15s and shotguns pointed at my head and at my dog "Boomer's" head while two young children were mere feet away on a second floor. False arrest. False imprisonment. Actionable evidence including recordings, documents, hundreds of witnesses contact information with no conflicts of interest esp. regarding crimes against children involving rape and abuse.
Only EXTERNAL demands might drive long-overdue official accountability, investigation, oversight, an end to abuses, brutality, crimes of a community & local, State & Federal corruption that would shock most Americans. It sounds unbelievable, but is very much real in Wilmington N.C.
Though provided irrefutable almost certainly admissible evidence of criminal activities involving:
U.S. Department of Justice & F.B.I. involvement in extensive criminal misconduct by Corrupt North Carolina officials including sexual abuses of children, theft of Federal funds, lynching's, retaliatory murders, torture, violence & retribution against child victims, families & the few who have dared discuss horrific abuses suffered & retaliation by officials, prosecutors & bribed media.
This "Culture of Corruption," once pursued, is now Assisted, Protected by the U.S. DOJ, FBI USAO despite vast evidence & growing #s of victims of violent criminal acts that any remotely moral person would conclude:
CONGRESS MUST HOLD THESE FEDERAL OFFICIALS AND THE STATE AND LOCAL SADISTIC CRIMINALS OFFICIALLY PROTECTED TO ACCOUNT.
NO OFFICIAL WHO ENGAGES IN SUCH EVIL SHOULD EVER BE MAINTAINED OR SUPPORTED IN OR ALLOWED TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE OR PRACTICE LAW EVER.
