Thanks for the support Judith. You don't have to donate here too. I'm not hiding anything behind a paywall.

Thank You Tom, what a lovely email from you.

You ARE appreciated and respected, more than you realise.

I urge you to keep going, as long as you can, in order to spread the words of AAV.

I am wondering how Substack will pan out long term because no one can afford to pay for each individual writer they read?

Ever since I started the Pay As You Feel thing in about 2014 I've known that less than 1% of followers actually donate, but if you build up enough of an audience, it's still viable.

I am asking how viable it is for readers/subscribers. Thanks.

I guess you just have to be selective about what you donate to, and appreciate the content producers who don't hide most of their stuff behind the paywall.

If you look at it in old-fashioned terms, say 5 or so subscriptions to online writers/producers would be like a daily newspaper, and a couple of magazine subscriptions, in old money, so anything more than that would probably be pushing the boat out.

Great to hear that you are feeling re-energised after starting your Substack! Will 100% spread the message, hopefully now you can work around the algorithms your work will start to spread again 🤞🏻
