After 3 years of publishing more than 3 million words, pictures, and articles on sustainable import and toxin-free ways to create tiny homes, intentional communities, permaculture villages or homesteads, and politics as it relates to our freedoms to do such things, I am sorely disappointed that more progress has not been made on this platform and perhaps due to these constraints you address, you will do better. One of my biggest complaints is the cost to use this platform as you pay only through Stripe and the return to the writer, artist, contributor that makes this possible is diluted, siphoned off in giant chunks to net $43 on $80 paid by the subscriber. I find that money could go to build a better platform if you were not taking that 13% chunk out here and there that adds up to profits for someone other than your supporters. The issue with censoring and not endorsing some of your writers like myself, once getting tagged for using the term "no 4-letter words" in a title that was about how nice it was to not get 4-letter words in an unsubscribe notice. I lost 6,000 subscribers when I switched from MailChimp to the Substack platform, many in other countries around the world where my following once reached. These are important issues if you are to grow and not sell out, to thrive and not just survive the fallouts ahead.
