Thank you Kristina! I'm really looking forward to this and working with your wonderful online writing school. Actually, before I joined your school I was only sitting at 70 subscribers! I appreciate all that you've done for me! Wishing you a prosperous 2025!

All we need now is a date and time we can share. Then I'll send your note to my subscribers so they can join the Q&A. Let me know when. You can combine it with your Q&A for your newsletter . It's just a test. Let's see how it goes
Walter, I don't know if you have Tony's ear, but there's a reason so many big writers have left Medium for Substack and I plan to be the latest.
*The Boost is KILLING the site.*
I've brought countless subs, I do 120,000 views per month on 5-minute reads that have 80%+ retention, and my RPM has gone from $70 prior to the MPP changes, to $30 immediately after, to $16 in December and $10 over the past few days.
It's a slap in the face.
When you pay $20,000 for one article, it takes so much money out of the pool that the marquee writers who made the site what it is start to wonder what they're grinding for when they're seeing their pay drop every single month.
Keep the Boost if you want, but remove that ridiculous 10x pay escalator.

This is an existential risk to the site I love.
