Substack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.
So I went ahead and made a browser extension.
Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.
Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.

Analysis Summary
Andrew Tate, convicted of human trafficking and rape in 2024, became Substack's #1 bestseller after moving his paid subscriber base to the platform in April 2026, prompting criticism that Substack amplifies extremist content. The author created a browser extension that intercepts Substack links and redirects them to archive.is, allowing readers to view articles without sending traffic to the platform. This reflects broader frustration with Substack's moderation policies, which multiple writers have criticized for platforming far-right figures alongside mainstream journalists. The extension represents a form of protest that preserves reader access while reducing Substack's metrics.
