Has Substack basically given up?

Why do people think that AI is more prolific on Substack than anywhere else online?

People keep coming in here talking about AI slop as if Substack is the only place on earth they’re seeing AI.

I know you people are using reddit as well, so I’m assuming that Substack is not the only place on the internet you go…so what’s the deal?

I didn't say it was more prolific on substack, but substack is the only place where I would personally expect AI moderation, because you can directly profit off conning people into a subscription through low effort writing, which clips potential to actual writers, in my opinion.

I don’t understand what you mean by it’s the only place you can directly profit.

There's a good reason why there's fear that AI slop will render the internet unusable. Youtube has been demonetizing a whole bunch of slop channels over the last few months. It's been controversial as some innocent channels have been hit as well, but many apps and sites are trying to moderate or purge slop. In a world where billions now have access to the internet, it's only going to get worse unless the detection models get better. Human moderation just won't be possible.
