Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content

Canceling all my subscriptions. Sorry creators.

Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie, "I just want to make it clear that we don’t like Nazis either—we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse"

Just deleted my Substack acct

First amendment primarily applies to the government's action of controlling speech and not a private company platforming and monetizing it.
