Can you point to Sage threatening your family? That's worth documenting (and I keep track of most everyone).

My guess then is that your income from it is between 45k and 75k. Does depend a little on whether you lock people out of some posts I figure.

Regarding Sage, I've just looked for that one and havn't found it but I do have it somewhere. There's about 20-30 other threats as well such as hunting me down in NZ asking FastEddy to do the same and so on.

Interesting stuff. I rarely even care about how many subs I have. I'm more concerned with staying true to *my truth* regardless and I don't want to change my opinions just to gain subs either. I'm not trying to make money from Substack, so that helps a lot. If there comes a time where making a bit of money I'm open to it but, for me, I'm more concerned with the times we are living in and doing "something", even if it's just being a keyboard warrior. It is very interesting though how some people seem to mysteriously "go viral"... (no pun intended lol)

I don't think that you can make money on Substack unless you're up above 30k subscribers. I would think it a miracle if I got to that.

Wow. I didn't know that. Well, one never knows Richard! Here's hoping you reach that one of these days. :)

4% of subscribers pay. If your rate is say $50 a year then for every 1k subscribers you have 40 x $50 = $2,000. 30 x $2000 is 60k. For that maybe you have 4-10k in expenses. So Net is 50-55k minus whatever taxes your country bills you.

Maybe if you live in Thailand you could survive on less.
