@_elena Please be aware that we have an #EuropeanAlternative based in Germany: #Steady - https://steady.page
I use them for years and am very satisfied, great for EU-conform invoices.
Like Patreon and other services where you can also earn money, of course, they also take a fee (only) on paid subscriptions.
The problem why so many people don't leave Substack: They get new readers from the platform. The smaller the platform, the fewer readers you get

@_elena 2/2 directly from them. But let’s not kid ourselves: Substack's algorithms favour the stars. And they, in turn, might as well launch their own platforms, as their fans follow them everywhere. So there’s no reason not to give an alternative a try.

@NatureMC @_elena Looks interesting, thanks for sharing! A bit unfortunate that they only offer payout through Paypal though.

@NatureMC Steady is great to keep my writing out there as well as updates. I can't use Ghost because they require a debit/credit card to get started and my bank won't allow it to go through since they're based in Singapore, and Steady was a free alternative that is incredibly easy to use.
