Etienne Note: Another truth movement creator seeing the exact same censorship on Substack. We have received reports from over a dozen Substack creators experiencing the same censorship and our LEAVING LOUDLY article (Linked to in this article) has racked up over 7000+ reads on the main version, 2,000 on the other versions (Daily News, Five Meme Friday, etc.) even under massive censorship with people reporting they can’t share and/or restack it. We busted open and exposed Substack’s criminal activity!
Over the weekend, subscribers began letting me know that they had not received my last two or so posts (starting Friday…) by email and I should have checked my stats (which I never look at…) as I just assumed it was an issue specific to them and their email (from hosted urls rather than Gmail etc.).
Upon further investigation, it appears Substack (without warning) abruptly stopped emailing this Substack out with the last post to be emailed being on Thursday and coincidentally, before our usual WW3steria: Best Operation Epstein Fury Memes & Updates Friday post…
I’ve have done nothing at my end with the settings (which like the stats, I rarely look at…) - so this is not coming from my end…
The one other time Substack censorship happened, I was alerted that a post had been unpublished and had to remove a meme, coincidentally, from an Epstein related post (THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT EPSTEIN THAT SETS OFF TRIGGERS!) that was deemed “offensive” and then republish the post BUT completely NOT emailing posts out without warning is a massive censorship escalation...
And we are not the only dissident Substackers starting to have problems on Substack as this piece, coincidentally published late last week, mentioned a few other ones as well as some of the censorship tricks Substack is pulling on them:
• The Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation: Revenue growth flatlined after consistent year-over-year doubling. Views dropped from 750–2,000+ per post to 6–17. Open rates show “N/A” — indicating emails are not being sent.
• Five Meme Friday: Same pattern — growth trajectory broke sharply at the July 2025 investment date. Open rates show “N/A” — indicating emails are not being sent.
• Restacking blocked: Subscribers report being unable to restack our content, with the message “I am not allowed to restack your post.” See screenshot below!
Multiple unrelated liberty-oriented publishers experienced the identical growth collapse at the identical time:
• Dr. Meryl Nass (merylnass.substack.com): Growth trajectory reversed after July 2025, subscriber count declining from ~50,000
• DJ Mike Winner (djmikewinner.substack.com): 62,787 subscribers, lost ~5,000 subscribers (-7.2%) post-investment
• Zowe Smith (zowe.substack.com): Growth flatlined precisely at the investment date
IF you have a Substack and are also having problems, let me know in the comments the details and when you first noticed the problems + LET ME KNOW if YOU RECEIVED THIS POST VIA EMAIL AS I WILL SCHEDULE AND PUBLISH IT AS NORMAL THIS MORNING…:

UPDATE 2: Substack may have a restriction or silo where only my Subscribers or paid Subscribers can see my comments on other Substacks because when I looked for them earlier on a different browser where I am not logged in, they were not showing up BUT then I was told by a Subscriber the comments were visible.... I was the fifth poster on Coffee and Covid (sort comments “oldest to newest”)...
Looks like the game here could be to silo / echo chamber people and try to fool them into thinking nothing is amiss and that their comments / Substack etc is just not getting read/liked/re-posted etc. when nobody outside the silo is actually able to see them…
UPDATE 3: I can now see my above comments on a different browser where I am not logged in e.g. Coffee and Covid and sort comments from “oldest to newest” and I see it - have gotten alerts from Substack or see likes indicating some have seen it. They may have a hold or delay in place & still restrict reach to people already in my “silo” / “echo chamber”. Again, this would be insidious and designed to silo/echo chamber people / restrict their reach as most comments on hot political etc type or topical posts happen right after they get published / emailed (not a day later). I am not sure if the post writer gets alerted to my comments as they could also have those alerts turned off. Looks like they have lots of levers they can pull - probably driven by AI and “reach” can fluctuate…
UPDATE 4: I posted 2 comments on another Substack’s post from last week around 11PM EST Tuesday night. When I go to a browser where I am not logged in, the counter reads 38 comments at the top:
When I scroll down to the bottom, the counter reads 38:
When I click on “36 more comments…”, it reads 36 comments and I only count 36 comments:
The counter at the top on the browser where I am not logged in is counting my two shadowbanned comments BUT the counter on the bottom is not counting them and the comments are invisible.
Its now after 6AM EST and the comments are still invisible on the browser where I am not logged in BUT I see the comments on my browser where I am logged in and both counters read 38 comments with my comments visible to me (and maybe only to me…):
Not sure if Ed Dowd can see the comments or if he got alerts at around 11PM EST when I posted them (he may have some alerts turned off) - one was a direct reply to a comment of his…
Update 5: The shadow ban appears to last approximately 11 hours as I can now see my comments on the browser I am not logged in on and it indicates my comments were made 11 hours ago:
Plus both the top and bottom comment tickers match and reflect the number of actual comments - including my previously invisible ones:
I just posted a new comment and it’s visible on the browser where I am logged in on:
But it’s not going to be visible for another 11 hours on the browser where I am not logged in on & I have no idea if Ed (that Substack’s owner) can see my new comment or got any notification for it:
So clearly Substack is also running an 11-hour shadow ban on my comments to restrict my interaction on other Substacks as how can you interact with anyone when you are under 11-hour shadowbans?
2) Etienne de la Boetie2 https://substack.com/@artofliberty?utm_source=global-search is investigating other Substacks being censored (RIGHT NOW) in these Notes:
3) When I try messaging people on here, it disappears when I go back to the chat screen. So I believe that I am no longer able to message anyone or at least people who aren’t subscribers (of course, they could have their settings set to restrict unsolicited messages or something...).

Substack’s so-called “Stats”
I probably should have been looking at the stats every day to at least ensure this sort of nonsense is not happening. Otherwise, these stats have never been very helpful for writers given the manipulation...
Starting at the end of summer/early fall of 2024 when it became apparent Kamala was going to be a dud and Trump would have to be installed after making a deal with the installators, it appears someone took their foot off this Substack (or they changed their metrics) and views took off as Substack clearly started “promoting” or showing it more for about a year before abruptly stopping (lime green is a new direct-to-app metric - whatever the heck that means…):
Then last year, around the time we started criticizing you know what (as the first bombing campaign began) and the increasingly awful behavior of a specific country + certain leader(s), the foot came back down hard…
Evolving Substack & Social Media Censorship
Substack itself has come a long way since this Substack started during the scamdemic:
Even without their new focus on pushing washed out corporate propagandists/presstitutes and the censorship, Substack periodically monkeys with the dashboard backend and metrics - because of this, they can’t be trusted or used to determine long term readership trends.
Also, when its summer or a weekend with nice weather or holidays and everyone is busy outside or doing family stuff, it’s natural to assume they aren’t checking email or reading Substacks and metrics go down…
However, Dave Collum has said that despite going on Tucker and appearing almost weekly in various podcasts on YouTube plus getting alerted to new followers like Megyn Kelly, his Twitter follower count has not budged above a certain level - like there is an imposed ceiling on people not down with the correct narratives...
I have seen more or less the same thing plus Substack has obfuscated the numbers even more now as there are Subscribers and I guess followers on Notes which I don’t see any Stats for…
In addition, I think Tommy of Tommy’s PodCast has said he has noticed some of his podcasts suddenly getting only a handful of views - meaning something about the podcast caused YouTube to make it invisible. But I doubt Twitter, YouTube or Substack has full control over their platforms e.g. there are probably backdoors for censors in Washington/Tel Aviv to step in and squash content OR certain keyword rules embedded deep in the sites’ code that automate the process…
Censorship aside, Scott Carney has a good post and video discussion about the general ensh*tification of Substack that does not cover the censorship issue:
Again, he noted that even one of our favorite corporate presstitutes is having Substack problems:
However, his post is archived here as he too has the post behind a paywall now:

Reaching out to Substack “Support”
I have reached out to the AI chatbot on this page that is the so-called Substack Support:
I’ve gotten no response yet *after approximately one day) and I highly doubt I will get one or any explanation or reply from a human or IF the email block will be lifted BUT you never know - it could just be a “technical glitch…”
Nevertheless, we will continue to publish/email/send to the app as usual - again, let me know in the comments if you receive this post or future posts by email (again, I doubt it…):
Moving Forward - THEY REALLY HATE MEMES!
I think someone or rather some someones have a real problem with memes as it’s also been getting harder to find memes on Twitter etc when you search for memes on there...
I also suspect after the midterms when we get our false flag attack “from Iran” and/or when the escalation of the war with Iran (aka a ground invasion) starts, along with more attacks on Russia, that Substack is just going to be forced to start nuking dissident Substacks (the email subscriber list has been downloaded in anticipation of this…) - MEANING YOU BETTER COLLECT SOME MEMES OR EMAIL OUT OUR MEME POSTS FROM OUR INDEX OF POSTS:
Great Reset Meme Index31 de mayo de 2023

The individual post index needs to be updated…
Again, this Substack will carry on as usual by not kissing any walls or the hind quarters of any failed politicians who have broken most of their promises or joining their personality cults…
We will need some help in the form of readers EMAILING or sharing the posts (on other platforms as another trick Substack has up its sleeve is to prevent posts from being shared on its platform or to prevent shared posts from Substacks they don’t like from being seen by anyone)
