Your platform is brand new, I think you still need to think about subscription issues. I speak as a very small "Substacker", since to date I only have 260 subscribers. Since I started writing on Substack (March 2023), I have of course had an upward curve of subscribers, but I have only had two promises of paid subscriptions; I have been very reasonable, since I start with 5 euros per month (but maybe it is still too much?)

What I would like to be able to do is to continue to offer my work for free and to let those who would like to help me financially, like that, without compensation. For the beauty of the gesture.

I also understand that you, for your part, the administrators of Substack, must find an economic model to make your platform viable.

Yes, there is a lot to think about this.

I really enjoy working on your platform, and I hope it will last.

I wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2025!

PS: off topic: for several months (whatever my browser) I can no longer check the little hearts to "like" (but I can comment!)
