I have been watching the number of new subscribers to my Substack grow in recent months and I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the follows!
2025 has been quite the endurance test for me on this platform but it is motivating to gain your attention and my unpaid subscriber numbers reflect this. Each day I try to put out short punchy content and on a variety of topics! I realise there are a million substacks out there and some of them are truly excellent. However, I try to produce my own stuff and think it distinctive and always comes from a place of passion and intellectual curiousity – with a dash of belligerence thrown in!
However, my paid subscribers are falling and that is not much of a vote of confidence in my work. There are a core of supporters here who think a £5 a month for around 100 articles is a good deal. Can you please consider joining this army?
I make most of my content freely available in the hope that this might lead people to thinking me worthy of a small monthly payment – the equivalent of a large cup of coffee in a coffee house! I don’t want to paywall my stuff as others do but perhaps I am being naive? Prove me wrong!
