Yes. Substackers who can easily move on to other pressing issues will definitely have an audience. I run a group for political Conservatives. We meet weekly. Their concerns about COVID are over. Period. Their biggest concerns now are CBDC’s, WWIII, hyperinflation, financial depression, preparedness, the failure of the American healthcare system. There is so much going on that is new. You’ll be fine digging deep and sharing.
Yes you have a future. People are still in the dark. It takes voices like yours to pull people out of being anesthetized of “big brother is watching out for you. Did we pay serious attention to the Milken Institute Future of Health Summit in October 28-30, 2019 "Making Influenza History: The Quest for a Universal Vaccine"?? You know, where Fauci said that to get people to take flu more seriously, you have to get profit making industries in on it to “make it happen”. He described how focus groups responded to "are you scared of hiv? yes. are you scared of cancer? yes. are you scared of the flu? no." So… HOW DO YOU MAKE PEOPLE FEAR FLU? You create a bigger badder version in a lab(UNC-CH to be exact). Watching this interchange and Michael Spector, a NYT writer and teacher at Stanford add, “it would take a Disruption” of a large magnitude to get people to change their minds about flu. How do you get the whole world to take a new approach? Fauci offers the most telling of answers, “Federal Government”
And just like that we present the Covid hysteria- Creating a Problem and Providing a Money Making Solution.
As the marketing professors tell us, "branding" is important. So a key might be for Substackers to "brand" themselves as writers who simply challenge narratives ... and happen to write a lot about Covid topics, since that is THE most important issue of our times. But I think the most successful writers will have developed a brand that they have produce content worth reading on any and all topics of importance. I've already written about a few non-Covid topics (like inflation), but will do more of that moving forward. Still, there are so many important Covid questions that haven't been fully addressed.
I was a 30+ year subscriber to NY Times, and the shift started away from them was first with UnHerd.com out of the UK. They got lost in the post-Covid era, so I stopped when Substack took "their lane" - for me.
This week, I upgraded to "Founder" at The Free Press - Bari Weiss. They seem to truly present BOTH sides of issues, you know, LIKE REAL JOURNALIST!! I also support medical/scientist that give me REAL information.
My suggestion is, find a group/theme to go to the next level. I am not against you, and you can see that I pay for a bunch of content.
If we could end Big Pharma advertising I believe some media outlets would listen to us, conduct research etc.
But Pharma pours HUGE $$$ in media coffers. They won’t bite the hands that feed them.
We ended cigarette advertising; now we must end Pharma advertising.
I’ve read where these companies spend far more on advertising than on research.
Wonder why some SEC coaches did radio/tv spots? A mystery for me....then I see the “sponsors” on banners at courts & stadiums...... Remember those tents set up on game days where it was soooo convenient to drop by & get a shot?
College conferences are beholden to Pharma! What a racket.
I may have said it here before but I have been calling attention to the nightly news being sponsored by big pharma for many years. I have said they would never cover anything bad on pharma and covid proved me right. It is only the citizens stepping up now that is exposing them. Before the substack I was following Dan Bongino, Amazing Polly and others who could see thru the lies during Trumps presidency. You are right about things to come and digital currency is a fight we can't lose.
If the war holds off, I would vote for Climate Changers driving us back a century or too with the electric car racket leading the way. I just can't understand how folks cannot see the damage from mining and processing that EV's are responsible for. So many anti-environment steps lead up to driving an EV. I guess they think when you plug in an EV, the power comes from the electric plant.
Sweet of you address SteelJ! It’s important for your readers to feel we have a voice in the darkness too!

“I also think other issues - just as potentially calamitous or important - are going to increasingly reveal themselves and engage the interests of the same readers who’ve been so interested in Covid stories.”
I believe your thoughtful words will continue to need to be seen and understood through your writing, as you continue to shine a light on the “riveting drama to come” because as we are promised:
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”
Once a group, any group in power gains a level of control, they are hard pressed to relinquish such power.
Covid showed those in power what populations would endure.
It's my opinion that digital id's, digital money and 15 minute cities are the next wave.
I can't say what you all would be able to stomach, but those in power are going to have to kill or maim me before I will allow them to take away the freedom my father fought for against the Nazis in WWII.
The ramifications of the Covid™️ debacle will not be fully known, even to those of us who recognize the scam, for a very long time. And meanwhile, as others have pointed out, there are related civil liberties and individual freedom concerns that seem to be revving up - the Climate, digital currencies, health freedom, do we really need 97 genders, and so much more. Keep writing! I’m a new subscriber, but I’ve seen you in the comments sections of other Stacks.
Guaranteed!! As long as the media continues to execute “ the narrative”, as long as Social media does the censoring of any counter narrative at the behest of the Government and as long as people with a scintilla of integrity and common sense continue to be outraged by all this corruption and abuse of power... Substack will continue to be a larger forum for the actual honest to goodness “ unadulterated “ TRUTH. And the more the mainstream media and politicians demean and discredit “ Y’ALL”, the more we need to stay the course. Wasserman Schulz’s treatment of Matt Taibbi tells you everything you need to know ... it’s not about us or our rights, it’s about THEM.
They don't care if a global nuclear war would leave them “controlling” only an apocalyptic dystopian landscape. They are psychopaths. If worse comes to worst, they would rather blow up the whole planet, even if it means they have to blow up themselves as well, but in their mind, that would still be better than giving up their power and control. This is illogical, but that's how psychopaths think.
And substack will at some point be forced to comply with some kind of censorship rules because "misinformation". So we'll have to move to another form of communication. How about an old fashioned typewriter and a mechanical letter copying press?
There was no outrage over CoVid; there still isn’t. Strikers in Britain are ‘outraged’ that inflation - that their passivity caused - means their wages buy less. The strikers are public,service workers whose jobs were secure and who got paid during the lockdowns. In France millions are out having a tantrum ‘outraged’ because their welfare is being cut, because the State is bankrupt. The media and public is ‘outraged’ that the energy companies are making ‘huge profits’ whilst energy prices have soared, but they are not ‘outraged’ at the Govt and its policies that caused this, or ‘outraged’ that soon we probably will have no energy. Had there been Covid ‘outrage’ we would have been reading about it and commenting in the MSM. Substack fills a gap in the market, a source of unfiltered, information and critique of the official line. It is a refuge for those who know there is more to what we are being told by officialdom, who know we are being deceived and want a trustworthy, free source of information and dialogue. Global warming - or Govt policies and the machinations of their puppet master, should be causing outrage but it isn’t. The MSM didn’t do anything different during the Fakedemic that it hadn’t been doing for years on other issues, particularly ‘climate change’, so substack will remain the go-to source of for the minority (sadly) who don’t like being conned and take comfort from the other voices here, that they are not alone.

I think you’re dead right. Keep writing!
The stories "missed" by the MSM would have made for multiple award-winning stories in previous years.
There's no shortage of stuff to write about, even if we go about it in our own unique ways.
