Substack milestones – 15 million views, over 12,000 followers, 7,500 subscribers (71 paid and 2 founders) – (almost) 5,000 articles and cross -posts in just shy of 2.5 years!
I am disappointed but not discouraged by the drop paid subscriber numbers from a peak of 81 to 71 and the news from Bill Rice jr, that the average paid subscriptions are around 4% of total subscriptions – implying my SubStack is well below the theoretical average of 300 paid subscribers out of 7,500 total subscribers.
I have also received 911 ko-fi donations, for which I am grateful!
I am not trying to make a living from SubStack! Just a little disappointed is all - but encouraged by the umber free subscriber growth and the more than 12,000 followers!
Here’s a US distribution of subscribers by State:
nd here’s a global map:
I notice an increase in subscribers from Europe, including 67 from Germany 59 in France and
Amongst the BRICS, 50 from India, 28 from Brazil, 10 from Russia, but zero from China.
10 subscribers from Israel and 2 from Egypt, 15 from Grece and 4 from Turkey.
Spread the word! Such as it is, ha-ha!
Thanks to everyone for your tremendous support, especially founder members and paid subscribers. I will keep ranting on about everything from vaxx harms, to all the “net zero” crab, the number of fish in the sea, the dangers of micro-plastics, the fields full of unwanted Chinese EV’s and the global trafficking of migrant beggars whilst my weak eyesight allows! (apologies for all the typos and your tolerance of them!).
All the best
Onwards!

I wish I could suuport you and a few others. I'm in Canada, and most all of us are in pretty desperate shape.

And no, I don't think it's all about mortgages as the article cited, though that's part of it dor some people. It's that the rest of us are barely able to afford anything - even food.
I have never seen it this bad here. Ever. And it keeps getting worse.
Surprised you don't have more of an audience in the UK.
But I think everybody's suffering.
Love your typos:). I thought it was code 😂
