Are we ignoring how one of Substack's major competitors, Ghost is doing just fine? Bootstrapped, on a $6M run rate, their growth speeding the past years and openly sharing their revenue details [1].
What would happen if Substack went out of business? Newsletters can (and would) migrate to Ghost or other alternatives that are also thriving.
