@damienredicamn1 Twitter was how I marketed my work and found new readers. And Substack doesn’t pay me, I pay Substack. My subscribers pay me.

If I’’d been in this for dollars I wouldn’t have broken with Musk over his deamplification of Substack. I was not willing to sell out other Substack writers, which includes you, right? Maybe I should have.
