Change Summary
Substack's Terms of Use footer navigation was updated on May 19, 2026 to add comparative product links. The footer now includes links to 'Substack vs. beehiiv' and 'Substack vs. Patreon' in the navigation menu. This is a navigational and marketing change to the terms document structure, not a modification of substantive contractual rights or obligations.
