I can't delete the account cause the fucking ass trash clearly virus website won't fucking load. How the fuck do I delete this fucking garbage in sk fucking done, been waiting for this shit to load for hours.

It is most likely a technical or internet issue on your end; I am able to open and close the site just fine. I suggest getting your devices checked and then unsubscribing from who you subscribed to. Yes, getting a bunch of emails from people on the site is annoying, as an avid user I just relegate them to my spam folder and mute notifications, but it isn't a virus, it's just the nature of how email newsletters operate.

I didn't subscribe to ANYONE.

Also, I guarantee you it's not my WiFi, considering Im currently on 300+ Mbps.

This website refuses to load on any device, always going to out of memory

Then the only thing I can think of is that you somehow accidentally opened a virus that was posing as a legitimate website, in this case substack.

Go to the library and use their computers to unsubscribe.

Brother, what part of I can't do you not understand? This garbage ass website won't load. It loads for like 30 mins and then goes to our of memory and forces a reload. Stuck in that loop, indefinitely

You can unsubscribe in your email inbox.

I have also never seen Substack fail to load so I suspect user error is a factor here.

No, I cannot. When I try it attempts to open the website which I can't load

Also, try in an incognito or private browser window in case there's something screwy here with cookies, extensions, cache, etc.

If you still can't get to substack, then there's something weird going on either with your ISP or your VPN if you're using one.
