I enthusiastically started to sign up for your substack subscription, the app requested access to my contacts, i deleted the app, i have no interest in ANY social media, I expect more from,people wanting to find another way

Hmm - to the best of my knowledge, my substack doesn't require any of that. Not sure what happened.

I had the same issue.

To complete the Substack enrollment process, I had to either accept or reject Substack's request to authorize access my contacts,and here is the kicker:

the accept option was activated and would allow me to go forward but the reject was not activated as it was "greyed out."

I repeatedly tried to decline without success.

Only after far too many attempts was I able to decline.

What was Substack going to do with my contacts for god's sakes.

Who is behind Substack and what is it anyway?

I paid $70 for what I thought would be a subscription to "The Contrarian" and I get short videoes, each from a different entity, each hawking a paid subscription.

Really?

I had to pay $70 for to be solicited by every Andrew, Bob and Harry?

I feel played.

The Contrarian is at https://contrarian.substack.com/

My substack just recommended them. There is no charge for natpernick.substack.com.

Sorry for the confusion!
