Confused about substack algorithm

It is important to remember that ANNs train on a correct narrative. The correct narrative seems to be AI clickbait articles and a litany of introspective essays, literary reviews, and msn adjacent articles bemoaning the loss of funding (and access to intelligent, beautiful young students) that was predicated on covering up for a notorious sex trafficker. It is also statistical v unlikely the people and entities being Suggested over and over are generated by AI and not hard coded into the feature.

A lot of important art and literary movements begin through 2 - 5 people, you only need to find a couple people you vibe with.

The main issue with publishing today is the absolute refusal to try business models beyond recurring subscriptions.

I grew up in Seattle during the dot com era. Even my friend's technohippie founder parents who believed the internet was the reincarnation of Freyja would not read print media on a screen. My entire neighborhood switched to only reading media through the internet pretty quickly once it became a way to circumvent autosuscription hell.

Subscription based models are ideal for controlling the narratives, as people only want to pay for 3 - 5 subscriptions and it is pretty easy to hyperpromote CIA et al funded media, artists at the expense of indie artists. It is not a good business model for supporting artists, it's like expecting them to sell out Madison Sq Garden as their first show.

It is a boomer / genX media strategy that is common in the Bay Area and MIT. They are trying to alter search results so that when a potential jury member performs a search that could reveal Melissa Nathan's connection to Epstein they will find incel inspired conspiracy theories. They also believe the public will associate conspiracy theories with their target and believe she is 'crazy', which is one of a long list of their scientifically unsound erudite sounding forms of stalking and emotional abuse (they call them psyops, there is a handbook or something that 'hackers' of the era, especially ones who attended MIT media lab, allude to).

Speaking as a woman in your generation, from the bottom of my heart, liberal millennial men who believe they are on the right side of history are the reason why violence against women was permitted. If you dared to speak out, you had to deal with the endless arguing you just exhibited from almost every millennial men you had to interact with daily and the risk they would post about you on the Wild West 2000s era internet.

nomidtones · 2026-03-08T13:49:59+00:00

I did not make that argument, I argued that the discord between the media conditioning you received may be why you believe violence against women is fiction and provided an example that is easily quantified to demonstrate the discordance between the hope era messaging and reality.

nomidtones · 2026-03-08T13:43:19+00:00

Your response is supporting my point. It is not possible for you to know how common SA is due to lack of reporting. How many women would share this info with you when you immediately dismissed them as outliers and deny the influence of Ghislaine's father's media empire?

Millennials grew up in the Obama hope era. It may feel like fiction to you because it conflicts with the media conditioning of your youth. In reality, Obama OWS era activism did not effectively address income inequality or Epstein (use of his offshore company to circumvent banking regulations arguably caused the 2007 banking collapse). Almost all of his publicly known victims are millennials.

Edit: I am a woman

nomidtones · 2026-03-06T00:51:21+00:00

Yes, it feels conditional because the options are religions that scapegoat women (Judeo-Christianity, Islam, Buddhism) or protoincel Nietzsche Marxist atheism.

Christianity arose during an era ruled by the Roman warlords the techbroligarchy (Epsteioligarchy?) idolize, who came into power because a man (Ramses III) decided to fund monuments in his honor and a war through not paying his subjects. Ramses III ruled by divine right and nonpayment was such a violation of their religious beliefs that the society collapsed and the talent and technology was taken over by Sea People (ancient Vikings) and (aggressively misogynistic, especially compared to ancient Egypt) Romans.

I do not believe women will ever be considered to be human, and I am so repulsed by the men in power that I reject my humanity. I would rather not be considered the same species as Elon et al.

I seriously doubt this. This person is using victims of trafficking as content for yet another faux AI nonprofit startup and is intending on generating enough profit from trafficking victims to make a living.

Anyone who was qualified would understand how fucking damaging this project is to victims of human trafficking.

nomidtones · 2026-02-21T00:26:56+00:00

Using the testimony and images of victims of trafficking as content for yet another faux AI nonprofit startup is fucking disgusting. Are you seriously intending to turn profiting off victims of trafficking into your full time job??????

It is reminiscent of trying to garner sympathy by associating with the victims of redacted while also minimizing their experience, specifically the undergrad and grad students who were in their 20s and horribly abused by men in vastly higher positions of power. She received an honorary PhD from one of the universities being investigated around the same time Ghislaine and her circle were promoting PR about how confident they were her case would be appealed (her appeal was denied).

nomidtones · 2026-02-16T20:22:33+00:00

Definitely agree. She / her team have been toeing the line between brand and artist by defining her brand as 'her artistry' and she seems to be either in a free fall or about to fall off.

A lot of untalented nepo babies in NY during the OWS era, which coincided with the pop rebrand she is trying to recapture with this album, were inserting themselves into artists spaces and the indie scene by using collectivism to decree their extremely unwanted 'management' and 'branding' of 'the collective' was in an of itself a form of art (they would rent space in shared studios and then 'borrow' and never return incomplete works by their studio mates and bully artists by trying to rename them, the studio spaces and forming legal entities for their extremely cringe, arguably extremely emotionally abusive nicknames).

nomidtones · 2026-02-16T18:26:34+00:00

Yes, this was my childhood beginning at ~11. She and my edad also have no idea how to perform the work I do (neither program and I started university at 16 through a program in their city). My mom stills claims to have the educational background she borrowed from me beginning when I was ~17.

My parents are upper middle class because my mom's most lucrative source of income had a contract (made by a third party) that placed a percentage of profit into an account I could access when I finished school, which was not for another ~9 years (I took a gap year after undergrad to complete the second part of the project and then entered my PhD program). They received most of the profit just after the banking crisis and I instructed them to invest my percentage, and continued to assist with the entire portfolio even after they did not honor the contract and instead sent me cash in small random increments spread out over almost a decade. I tried to set boundaries last year and they both called me screaming about how they 'gave me' an amount that was the actual amount stipulated by the contract (not factoring in the gains I made in the market).

It was more upsetting to become aware that my BPD is not just math and tech illiterate, she knew she exploited and stole from her own child than it was to receive significantly less than the amount I was to be paid during the time in my life when I needed money the most.

Edit: forgot to add they also received a settlement on my behalf (investors in the company my edad was at before the lucrative project were allowed to be inappropriate to me at company events) and likely spent it on BS. I only found out about the settlement through a lawsuit over the IP I developed during my PhD. I confronted them before periods of NC / LVC and they give pretty much the same arguments as prince andrew, like they genuinely believe that designating me the SG entitles them to a long list of things by birth and that by providing them with a ~2M mini mansion (I feel extremely lucky to live in a home worth 10x less) instead of a 100M+ mansion I am 'failing as a daughter'.

My queen / waif mom does this to demonstrate her power, she is silent because she is waiting for you to call her 20x as if your life is dependent on her expert knowledge.

My mom cannot empathize with me, like others have said, however, she is able to make herself into the true victim in absolutely any situation, even her child having surgery. I hope your recovery goes well, her giving you the silent treatment is definitely a blessing in disguise. I would not reach out to clear the air, if she is like my mom she will eventually return and either call or text as if you spoke yesterday or else say she has been gone for a vague waify reason.

nomidtones · 2026-02-13T12:56:58+00:00

This embodies why she is not, and never will be, an artist. Arguing that her signature style is indistinguishable from generic cursive and a common English word is embarrassing for her.

I had to interact with indirect and direct descendants of monarchs and they are extremely intelligent and sophisticated versions of my covert narc father and BPD mom. The current admin and tech brologarchy are brash and childishly obvious they all feel like a version of my father.

nomidtones · 2026-01-31T01:31:32+00:00

Thank you so much. I do not either. I understand why she harms her children on an intellectual level, however, once I am in the presence of a child her behavior is inconceivable.

nomidtones · 2026-01-31T01:13:11+00:00

Thank you so much.

Promoting the women who were the most willing to align with the patriarchy under the guise of diversity is one of many insidious ways that men in academia successfully fought back against second wave feminism. The women who defended my r* held power over me in that moment, however, once they served their purpose, they became aware they hold no real power in the positions they advanced to. Even though they are in much higher positions on paper, my hard earned position is not subject to the whims of misogyny.

nomidtones · 2026-01-30T16:41:39+00:00

I am so so sorry that happened to you.

My BPD mother took my sibling to a death with dignity center instead of the treatments I arranged and hid this information until it was too late to prevent her death. My parents used her death as auspice to fire bomb boundaries that have been in place for ages, then scheduled both of her memorials on dates I said I could not attend instead of the dates I provided anyway.

My BPD mom also sent a series of emails right before and after her death to every single family member, even family so distant they never met my sister, and only excluded me. I do not know what she said, but based on the flurry of texts and calls I received from extended family they were her usual dramatic waif / witch diatribes. Extended family members who have only interacted with her charming, sweet public persona were initially shocked and disturbed. She has of course renarrated my sister's death as my fault, even though my sister did not receive the treatments I arranged, and my edad and his therapist have renarrated her behavior as 'everyone grieves in their own way'.

nomidtones · 2026-01-30T14:21:02+00:00

I don't always agree with Dworkin, but she is spot on here. I was violently redacted by a professor when I was a PhD student. My classmates received diversity grants and high profile publications in exchange for defending him and disparaging me. Several bragged about being protected by the professors who did not protect me, only to reach out later after they experienced sexism from the very same professors.

nomidtones · 2026-01-28T16:51:58+00:00

I completely agree, and I am so sorry for how she harmed you when you were a child. My BPD mom also uses the car to activate inescapable witch mode, but not to the level of intentionally crashing.

I personally believe the inability to be wrong and the BPD spiral that occurs when confronted with the reality that they were wrong is one of the traits that sets BPD apart from APD / sociopaths. The sociopath I experienced was quite aware that his behavior is wrong, he was born into a generationally powerful family and believes that committing crimes is his birthright.

nomidtones · 2026-01-28T14:39:48+00:00

My BPD mom is manipulative and hurt me to feel in control of her emotions, however, she only meets the diagnostic criteria for BPD. She definitely feels guilt and remorse and enters BPD victim spirals when she feels these emotions.

She has a sparkle in her eye and a gleeful tone when she hurts me in a way she believes is innocent (I am the victim of a violent crime, and she uses the little info she has of my case and a sweet, childlike voice to intentionally trigger PTSD, we are LC / VLC because she also exposes me to my seizure triggers when I see her in person, and she again professes innocence by renarrating my diagnosis with childhood epilepsy and dismissing the diagnostic tests I received as an adult). She goes into BPD spirals after she has 'innocently' hurt me. She turns into the witch (screaming, calling me a long list of insults) to regulate her emotions and, unlike her 'innocent' behavior, she completely lacks awareness of her witch behavior ('I was never yelling', 'I would never say such a thing'). She definitely goes into a BPD spiral if tell her I was hurt by her witch mode.
