substack is actually pretty amazing for free newsletters too because there is no platform usage charge at all. you can have as many free subscribers as you want and not have pay a single dollar without having a bunch of features gated behind tiers. let me know if you have questions!

Moved my newsletter from beehiiv to substack last week. Got my 1st paid subscription ($5/mo) after today's edition went live. It's not much, but I LOVE what this represents: Someone liked the article so much they decide to "voluntarily" pay to support my work.

Thanks in advance for the legal fees Mr. Blackman. We’ll put the $240,000 we’ll be recouping toward defending the next independent journalist who someone powerful tries to silence.

Love to get awarded legal fees after defeating a lawsuit meant to bully an independent writer. When Jack Paulson reported on CEO @mauryblackman’s arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, Blackman sued to try to silence him.
