@Popehat @mmasnick @nilay_patel I feel like I get it. From my own experience the worst thing that can come out of this kind of interview is to get pinned down saying something that turns into a really bad headline. So, he just stuck to the canned line that the lawyers and PR cooked up. The thing is that it's really not very hard to avoid getting pinned down without completely faceplanting like he did. But that would require being at least somewhat versed in trust and safety concerns, and being able to point to some actual efforts Substack is making in that space. IMHO the complete failure at that is why this interview was so bad. Because it reinforces all the other evidence that Substack is simply ignoring trust and safety almost entirely as a concern.
