Substack is a player in the increasing tendency of our fracturing media landscape - for the better or the worse. I believe, by enabling more and more unedited and unlimited speech increasingly diverse voices can become more prominent.
The hope is of course, that we have an unskewed distribution of voices, however, our increasing challenges with misinformation or maybe rather information warfare show that this _might_ not be the case.
In the old media world, this was to a degree ameliorated by a powerful elite of editors and publishers who controlled and cut off the extremes (bad for business if you have no targeting).
What does Substack think about missing editorial oversight?
