They had a lot of excuses, mostly they chocked it up to errors and mistakes. I imagine they don't want to market that they froze my account for the same reason they froze Donald Trump's. Bad for business if you just say that you hate your customers so you have to act more deceptively. For instance, people were getting payments refunded without them asking or with my approval, payments would no longer go through, money would go missing, random fees would be incurred, etc. Robert Malone has recently written about how they are now asking for more financial details and more and more people are lining up to say they have had similar experiences. This isn't going to go well for Substack.

Paypal once stole hundreds of dollars from me. No explanation, nothing. They told me for six months that they were investigating and that they would let me know what they decided. After that, they just said the money was gone, that it was consumed as part of the investigation. I'll never use Paypal again. Then, Square saw that I filed for an FFL and froze my funds.

We cannot trust any of these financial institutions to give us what is rightfully ours, and this is exactly what we can expect from a CBDC system when that is forced upon us.

We will have to find another way.

I’m a paid subscriber, and will try to follow you wherever you end up! Does a subscription to liberty magazine still support you?

I begin writing my Substack as a way to start my blog which I plan to transfer over to our future UScreen site. Uscreen specializes in videos. The nature of our videos will be entertainment. My magic in my husbands music and gifts we plan to have all our shows. My blog is just a side piece. But it is growing in life of its own.

Anyway I look forward to following you wherever you go. You might want to check out Uscreen for your videos.

This is awful. But these kinds of payment problems are the future, especially for Christian oriented online content. It’s good that you are forging ahead on new platforms, which will (hopefully) alleviate these issues.

If all else fails, I still have the Bible. That does not change.

Man changes. God does not.

Keep up the fight for freedom.

Terrible news. And I just joined Substack to share my short fantasy stories..

As far as payment processors, you could also use GabPay. No censorship there.

I’m supposedly on the left and yet I’ve been banned by paypal as well.

Not sure that right and left labels are useful anymore.

The one thing I'm going to enjoy when the Marxists take over is watching them put the credit card processors to digging six-foot by six-foot trenches and use those trenches to let the bodies hit the floor.

Samara, I am stunned by all this mess at Stripe and other payment processors. I know God can open doors for you, as He guides. I did just subscribe as a free subscriber and if you can, please keep my email address on file, so you can keep me in the loop when you depart Substack. If you cannot, I will message you with my email address, as I would like to keep in the loop with you. As a Senior on a fixed income, I am counting coins and do not have current resources to financially support you...but I am a woman of God and follower of Christ and I know...GOD NEVER LOSES. Blessing to your warrior spirit, please keep in touch. Wendy Elizabeth Williams a blunt oregon girl on Substack

I’m so sorry this is happening to you :(

Will you be posting screen caps of the communications? Just curious. Official messaging with Stripe logos & the official replies from Substack would be powerful in taking them down and exposing the censorship, or whatever is going on here.

What was the reason Stripe gave you?
