    I want to be pedantic because it is an important distinction.

    If the exact same text credited to the same person is posted on a news site and on substack, but you only consider one of them to be a ‘news article’, then the distinction is important.

    But thanks for proving you are a PTB by twisting my extremely clear point into absurd word nonsense.

      Correct, because blog sites have no accountability. I could set up a Substack blog, that would get removed too, as it should be.

      Same for Twitter. “But, but… they have a blue check mark!” yeah, as we all know now, means nothing.

        I understood the reasoning from the beginning, but thanks for making it extremely clear that the rules don’t match the enforcement.

          The rule is “news articles only”, it’s right there in the side bar. A blog is not a news article.
