This Substack appears to be stolen - by re-creating a Substack hostname that the original author has deleted, then re-publishing the articles with back-dated dates.

This Substack plagiarism scammer is getting even more creative.

They appear to have found an old Substack that was deleted in 2022-2023 (https://web.archive.org/web/20220826223418/https://michaelde...), then registered the deleted Substack hostname (with their own Substack profile), gone through Internet Archive or another source, and re-published the posts with back-dated dates.

OP, what say ye? Am I wrong?

Substack, how is this possible?

Here's the back story on this ongoing plagiarism campaign, including plenty of other examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40164077
