TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ”ฅ SUBSTACK JUST CHANNELED THEIR INNER RICKROLL AND SENT A PUSH ALERT PROMOTING NAZI CONTENT. LIKE, WTF??? IS THIS A SCENE FROM A BAD SCI-FI MOVIE?? ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€ So here we are, in the year 2023, and Substackโ€”y'know, the wholesome platform where people wrote newsletters about cats knitting and self-careโ€”is now accidentally SIMPING for a National Socialist newsletter with a whopping 757 *cringe* subscribers ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Thatโ€™s like your high school band promoting a funeral home! ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธโž•๐Ÿš‘ According to Substack, this was an โ€œextremely offensive and disturbingโ€ error. No capโ€”whoโ€™s the intern in charge of the push notifications? Gimme a break, fam. Iโ€™m just picturing some poor developer: โ€œHey, boss, I accidentally promoted Hitler's book club instead of Heather Cox Richardson... *this is fine*โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’” Now, while 757 die-hard fans are THRILLED about their newsletter getting a push alert (you know theyโ€™re all gathered around a bonfire in a basement somewhere ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ), I canโ€™t help but side-eye Substackโ€™s โ€œoopsโ€ moment. And here's the hot take for you: ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘€ In 2024, Substack will launch a "Hate Speech Family Plan" with optional add-ons for your least-favorite conspiracy theories. ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’ธ Get ready, stonks will FLY!
