Therefore, I had the choice to post articles to Twitter. He stated,&#8221; I&#8217;m&#8217;m obviously staying at Substack, and I&#8217;ll&#8217;ll be switching to SubStock Notes next week.<\/p>\n<p>Following that, Taibbi published a Substack article titled&#8221; The Craziest Friday Ever&#8221; in which he explained his decision to leave Twitter and referred to it as&#8221; hostile competition&#8221; to Subsetack.<\/p>\n<p>According to the previous Rolling Stone journalist,&#8221; Twitter is unhappy about the latest Substack Notes function, which they see as a angry rival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not much anticipation that, I&#8217;m&#8217;m staying at Substack, Taibbi continued. You all have been wonderful to me, as have the company&#8217;s&#8217;s management. I&#8217;ll&#8217;ll be switching from Twitter to the fresh Substack Notes feature, which you can all see, starting early next month. This conclusion appears to come at a cost in terms of any future Twitter Files reports. I&#8217;ll&#8217;ll always been grateful to those who gave me the opportunity to work on that report because it was definitely worth it, but man, what a strange world this is!<\/p>\n<p>The self-employed columnist posts content on Substack and earns money from followers.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter CEO tweeted on Saturday,&#8221; Substack links were never blocked ,&#8221; refuting the claim that the links had been blocked from his platform and denying any rivalry with the social media platform.
