Update: the Substack profile and blog have been deleted, either by the plagiarizer/scammer who saw these comments or by Substack. The article itself is still online (even though the index page and profile are gone), though I assume it will be deleted soon.
Here's what the fake Substack looked like in the time it was online (roughly 2024-04-26):
It had 10+ posts written by the real author, re-created under the original title, URL slug, publication date, and byline. The only difference was that the actual Substack owner was a scammer, not the author.
As mentioned elsewhere, this is essentially undetectable by regular people. The only fix is for Substack to prevent it from happening at all.
