Substack is positioning itself as a defender of human authorship at a moment when AI-generated content floods the creator economy, betting that readers increasingly value authenticity as a differentiator—especially among paid subscribers who expect direct access to a real person's voice. This move acknowledges that the platform's open-door publishing model has become vulnerable to low-effort AI spam and newsletter farms, turning verification into a competitive advantage for legitimate creators. The test is whether Substack will enforce consequences on high-volume AI publishers or merely offer transparency and let readers decide.
