@spencerpratt @Substack Baywatch has been filming in Redondo. Not sure if it's full production but they've been down here the last week or so.

@HackingButLegal @Substack I got the email around 9:25am EST today...I wonder if Substack's dashboards/data are down?

@idontexistTore Is anyone else having issues accessing Substack right now? I’m a paid subscriber but can’t see the articles, and now Substack is totally down for me

@EvolianGroyper2 What happened to your Substack page? Was just checking in to see what else you had wrought, sad to see your page is down Hope all is well

@realTimHack What about yields and USD. Both are breaking up and can drag the market down. Also I’m a subscriber but can’t seem to locate your reports on Substack Thanks

Is Substack down for anyone else? I can't post articles or notes.

Another cloudflare problem, this time preventing me from going on Substack. I'm glad that I made a stupidly simple website for myself, because it has no reliance on such systems, meaning it's always up (unless the server it's on goes down obviously). Stupid simple is the future.

Once again Cloudflare down, as of now Quora, Substack are down, X might join the group soon. This just 2 weeks after the last major outage.

Medium platform was down. Grammarly was gasping. Canva was glitching. Substack platform took a nap. Is the internet… having a burnout? 🫠 Maybe even our platforms need a digital detox.

Every Substack author woke up to find their scheduled post didn't go out on Monday October, 20th, 2025. Blame the AWS down event. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is currently experiencing a major outage that has taken down online services, games, apps, etc...
