Hi Igor, finally had time properly to read your newsletter - so much interesting information there. Chapeau! May I ask, why you have chosen to leave Substack? Any tremors I have not recorded yet?
That’s very interesting. Do you think that the move is advisable to any creators or only those who have already built up solid audience? I’m thinking of all the „perks” that brought me in here from Wordpress (an old curmudgeon of a platform that left me increasingly exasperated because even adding the simplest functions required studying at MIT beforehand;-))
I think Substack is ok, especially for the services it offers for free. My focus was to professionalise the whole thing, and that was the main reason to move. And that's the beauty of having an email list :)

Thanks. I moved because it was too tiring to see all the push for their own services to my subscribers (app, notes). I read this: https://mail.bigdeskenergy.com/p/death-by-thousand-substacks
That finally pushed me over.

Very true.
