All excellent points about Substack. The pros though are that it’s a lot easier to know who is reading your writing and you aren’t beholden to the unknowable algorithm. I write for both but most of the people who follow me on Medium rarely get my writing unless I manually tag them which I’m told is a bit of a faux pas.
My biggest thing with Substack is that I didn't know you can only connect ONE publication to your Stripe account. I have 2 publications on Substack and hoped to add sponsorships to both. Only way to do that is to set up a second Stripe account. That's more hoops than I want to jump through. Now I'm torn which to put sponsorships on.
