Keep writing and don't worry whether it's behind a paywall or not. I've got my paid subscriptions there as an option for people who have the means to pay. I have over 200 subscribers and only a handful of paid. I value them all. Sometimes when I go to read something that's been posted on Notes that looks interesting and I only make it partway through and then it's paywalled, I get frustrated and won't even subscribe for free. So, it turns me off. Which is why I've decided to keep my newsletter open to all.
I know that feeling. I keep everything free too. It's probably not a good business model but I think if people can, they'll pay. I don't have many but my main focus is really on consistency.
I've seen a few writers who have been able to make the "buy me a coffee" model work and have many paid subscribers – over the long term, I sense that people value and will support the work of the writers who they resonate with :)

Same same.
