In the past I’ve written about how Substack uses Google-owned Captcha as a gate keeper to control our access to Substack and how Google has used that in the past to prevent me from gaining access to my ‘stack.
As small a fish as I am, I’ve occasionally run into a similar problem, in addition to finding other multiple accounts popping up and using my same podcast name. Like Quora, I’m afraid we are witnessing this platform's corporate capture and eventual weaponization, as was done with Quora. What can be weaponized will be … and that is a piece of the puzzle as to why all institutions, systems, laws, or complex societies fail.
Humanity seems to be in a perpetual cat-and-mouse game. The predatory sociopaths among us feeding off the authentic, morally autonomous ... just like how "managers" can not create anything ... until the paradigm collapses under its own corrupt weight, only to start up again from the ashes. Yet another in a line of would-be Towers of Babel. The wild-west days of substack are numbered. Long live the king.
I'm currently casting about for other options. I need to build a stand alone site, something like Corbett has. Any recommendations? We may have discussed this before.
I was going to mention a stand-alone website. I'm sure all of us here would be glad to migrate over to a website. If you look at who some of the other 'controversial' websites are hosted by, you could probably try them. Go Daddy is useless, they delete any websites that have anything to do with telling the truth.
Do you have an account on the Gab social platform? I haven't used my account there for awhile (I'm guilty of using Twitter again since it has allowed conservatives / libertarians back on and is often linked from the Citizen Free Press news site), but they may have ways of creating your own blog space there (on Gab). Gab has its own servers to keep it independent of outside interference/censorship.
I like it quite a lot, especially as I can join Christian or hobby or special interest groups, such as "Covid Whistleblowers" (headed up by Arkmedic, aka Jikkyleaks), and groups discussing local issues and happenings in my own neck of the woods (NZ). And I get a kick out of the Cozy Pond FrogGang -- https://gab.com/groups/3207 and other meme creator groups. What were the bad things you heard about it?
Keep several sites up. Even though I was repeatedly censored by google in both the blog and email sends, and the blog and my email were taken down by Google on 2/22/2022, just before the Russian invasion, I still keep the Google blog www.johndayblog.com up as a mirror. It gets a little traffic from "old timers".
I am a very small fish, but algorithmic settings are probably very dynamic in how they are set and I am sort of monitoring them.
Do look at the Free Software Foundation. Using there FOSS software can be heavy lifting but worth it. The Free Software Foundation also has worked to have an open hardware group. Needless to say the big kids aren't interested. So it hasn't taken off. We are no longer in the days of Bill Hewlett and David Packard when ideas can take off in a garage.
When I say heavy lifting it is. But learning to read, write and count were heavy lifting too. As was just learning to walk and so much more. Windows and Apple trained most of us to expect instant on. We didn't realize the path that was laid ahead of us. Now that we are in a canyon. It is heavy lifting to get out.
Thanks for thinking so highly of me, Kyle, but I'm way behind the technical curve, learning from you and the commenters here. Will keep an ear and eye out for what you and others are saying. I like what James Corbett does, but I would feel a bit lonely because I've gained so much information and camaraderie from unexpectedly eclectic domains of thought here.
Substack is used as an information gathering tool no less than other platforms, it's foolish to think otherwise. Think about when Substack 'came to be' and the timing of it, the owners; I don't think it was based entirely on wholesome societal need for a fair platform, it's a profit making venture first and foremost, and few things are as easy and profitable as selling information.
I wish it was only a Subtack issue. If it was, I could write about it and get a response. But I could write about google al day and nothing will happen.
I too have had this issue with the Captcha and it is so interesting because I had also recently changed my password when this occurred and had the same issues where I knew that password, was forced to change it for the same reason that I was told it was invalid, same thing I chose a new one and that too was invalid. I have to say that this has also happened to me on Microsoft platforms like Skype and even on Xbox where I was for some reason permanently blocked out of accessing that account and had to abandon it since I could not contact anyone who would assist me. They secretly block people basically blacklisting them if they feel you have violated their terms of agreement.
I am someone who made a comment to Gov. Abbott during Covid on Twitter and was swiftly banned and never allowed to return. I had only had a Twitter account for a short time. I then began getting harassing messages to my inbox with all the things I was supposedly missing, when I sent them a response with a request to permanently delete my account, they demanded that I provide them with a phone number and email that matched the one on file, and nothing worked to get access so that I could do it myself. This after I had appealed their suspension just because I thought it was baseless and was rejected. I simply demanded they cease and desist all notifications and remove my account entirely. I noticed that Captcha was also being used when I would comment on Children's Health Defense, I found that there were two strategies with Disqus at one point to use that to kick me off and or to have my account glitch so that I was unable to even login or join a conversation, sometimes the Captcha was so ridiculous that it was impossible for me to get past it.
Then, another tactic was to say that my comments were spam and to remove them that way. I never spam anyone and by definition that was not what I was doing by adding links, they tried to say my comments were considered spam, I was even attacked by another person once on there who must have reported me trying to say I was spamming him when that person seemed to be the one doing the spamming by rudely commenting to other people's comments. I even had moderators try to tell me the proper etiquette as another way to censor me. I use Opera and I have a Mac with an older operating system that Google is now trying to block access to my email by saying my browser is out of date knowing I have an older operating system that I am unable to get the latest version of my browser with, this is a recent issue for me in that regard, I may have be forced from Google entirely by these means. I definitely feel that Google is trying to kick some people off their platforms using these methods.
Google also has a tendency to steal data this way, though I do not hear too many people besides me complaining about this. I will see things just disappear, and I have to dig deep to find them if I ever find them, sometimes when they are older they just get rid of it. I had an older Gmail account where somehow I was bamboozled into getting Google One I think is how that must have happened, this was years ago, and now they are using the fact that this was once on a free data plan for a limited time in order to steal all my data by limiting the amount on the guise that I have gone over my data allowance. I only have a couple hundred emails in total and no matter how much I remove it is just never enough to gain access back to the data on my account. This to me is theft of my personal data, but they don't care, we give up our rights to our data by choosing to use their service, same with Youtube and other platforms, they can just take it if they want it seems. Like Word Herder said, maybe try switching your browser or search engine, I use Opera and Duck Duck Go, but even that is now looking like it is following along with the censorship agenda, I have noticed fewer and fewer relevant results using Duck Duck Go, since all these tech companies are trying to push everyone into using AI as though they were not already. All of these issues are manufactured obviously to get us to buy more products or to buy into their solutions, Microsoft built viruses and backdoors into their computers and every computer has it the same was done with any Microsoft operating system, and I think how they know when users are violating their long list of terms is because of that. I get all kinds of meddling going on at certain times, but it does help not using Safari that was problematic for me when I was using it. I like Opera and rarely have these issues with it until recently when Google, and my operating system software began giving me alerts that things were out of date that I can no longer update.
I have the same problem signing on to substack. I seem to be limited to making about 10 posts daily - from about 5pm our time, I can sometimes post a few more. Often I am told "too many emails" and I have to complete a 6 number key, to be able to reply or post anything. In my case, I put it down to not having my own substack - so I'm just a visitor.

Sometimes - or rather they want me to log in to a substack of my own, which I don't want, because it seems to me that I potentially reach many more readers on established substacks, than I would if I started my own 5 or 6 years after Covid was forced on us by Bill Gates, Moderna, BionTech, Pfizer and others - also my skill is to assemble random pieces of information on subjects I know nothing about, to produce a cohesive argument about something, whether that is positive or negative - Sasha Latypova called me an idiot, but it was not me who she was calling an idiot, but all of the people who responded to the articles I referred on to her for comment, which suggests the idiot was Sasha, because, when she can't respond to the published truth of a thing, she responds to name calling instead, so who is the idiot now Sasha?
What I want to know is if Sasha, her husband and her child have all been vaccinated?
Just subscribed (maybe resubscribed? can't remember) to support you in the midst of this nefarious activity by Google/Captcha... appreciate your perspective and analysis of our cultural rot/decay.
Hoping Substack will not completely devolve over to the dark side...other authors have also shared their concerns about this (Bill Rice, Jr. and others).
Totally unrelated but I wanted to ask you about the border situation down there, and the reality of it, instead of the propaganda we are hearing on the tv.
Not much new to report. They've been doing some upgrades on the wall, which has closed the water gaps I wrote about earlier. That has caused a major reshuffle with human trafficking run by the cartels. Tunnels under it and new tech to get over it are an upcoming thing. As I said it would be 5 years ago, it's a big goverment boondoggle.
For many free thinkers, whistle blowers, and truth tellers the fight with AIs to prove their existence and legitimacy of access to Internet services has already begun!
The problem is that all existing companies have the same two major investors, being Blackrock/Vanguard, which also invest into each other. I assume that you have already watched ‘’Monopoly: Who Owns The World’’ and ‘’Fall of the Cabal’’ documentaries. These are eye openers and explain the Ponzi schemes used to make us believe in a ‘’free market’’, good governments, true press, and secured communications.
The same funding companies also own Alphabet, Microsoft, most MSMs/press, telecommunications, and Goooogle… Thus, the ‘’buycott’’ of these tentacular investors’ cartels is close to impossible, unless you live in the woods with no electricity and only buy locally.
Should either one of B. or V. fall, it would bring our civilization to such a global chaos that it would, in the blink of an eye -or a click 😉-, leave us communicating with smoke signals and barter in a survival mode.
Your articles are excellent and so informative! Long live heresy!

Hi Kyle.
As small a fish as I am, I’ve occasionally run into a similar problem, in addition to finding other multiple accounts popping up and using my same podcast name. Like Quora, I’m afraid we are witnessing this platform's corporate capture and eventual weaponization, as was done with Quora. What can be weaponized will be … and that is a piece of the puzzle as to why all institutions, systems, laws, or complex societies fail.
Humanity seems to be in a perpetual cat-and-mouse game. The predatory sociopaths among us feeding off the authentic, morally autonomous ... just like how "managers" can not create anything ... until the paradigm collapses under its own corrupt weight, only to start up again from the ashes. Yet another in a line of would-be Towers of Babel. The wild-west days of substack are numbered. Long live the king.
Unfortunately, I think you're right.
I'm currently casting about for other options. I need to build a stand alone site, something like Corbett has. Any recommendations? We may have discussed this before.
I was going to mention a stand-alone website. I'm sure all of us here would be glad to migrate over to a website. If you look at who some of the other 'controversial' websites are hosted by, you could probably try them. Go Daddy is useless, they delete any websites that have anything to do with telling the truth.
I learned about godaddy the hard way about 15 year ago.
I think this is who Corbett Report uses for their hosting: https://www.eurovps.com/

Gab has its own servers to keep it independent of outside interference/censorship.
They all want a phone number and I have no phone.
If Gab wants a phone number now, that's changed from when I first signed up in 2019.
Truth be told, because I heard bad things about it, I haven't checked with Gab. What's your experience with it?
I like it quite a lot, especially as I can join Christian or hobby or special interest groups, such as "Covid Whistleblowers" (headed up by Arkmedic, aka Jikkyleaks), and groups discussing local issues and happenings in my own neck of the woods (NZ).

It gets a little traffic from "old timers".
I am a very small fish, but algorithmic settings are probably very dynamic in how they are set and I am sort of monitoring them.
It's military, DoD, "information battle-space".
Working on that. Looking for help to build a new site from scratch. Know anyone?
Not currently. I did 20 years ago.
Hi Kyle and commentariat,
Do look at the Free Software Foundation. Using there FOSS software can be heavy lifting but worth it. The Free Software Foundation also has worked to have an open hardware group. Needless to say the big kids aren't interested. So it hasn't taken off. We are no longer in the days of Bill Hewlett and David Packard when ideas can take off in a garage.

We didn't realize the path that was laid ahead of us. Now that we are in a canyon. It is heavy lifting to get out.
Let's Lift!
Indeed!

Yes Substack is a “monetization vehicle” for themselves and the writers.
Yes, building AI I assume! And building their Alternative Universe to trial what will happen to the populace when they do the next dastardly thing!
They use AI for customer service chat.
I don't know why so many humans love the goog, but they do. I avoid it as much as possible but like a weed on steroids, it crops up everywhere.
All by design!
Keep up the good work. Yes, they do have multiple ways to "soft block" content they don't like.
It's too bad they finally got to the Stack...it's the best! Good luck!
Also of interest is that if people wish to SHARE this we get an Error message... Thanks for all your hard work and efforts.
Sorry, the issue corrected itself when I logged in.
I too have had this issue with the Captcha and it is so interesting because I had also recently changed my password when this occurred and had the same issues where I knew that password, was forced to change it for the same reason that I was told it was invalid, same thing I chose a new one and that too was invalid.
