Not much to add here, but I've noticed that recently I'm seeing way more "failed payments". Perhaps people got new debit cards and still think they're paid subscribers?
My numbers if you're interested: 6,330 subscribers, 256 paid. (Just over 4%)
Thanks, SC. Our numbers are very similar. I'm at 6,740 and was at 298 paid a day ago ... but now just hit 300. Yipee!
I should have mentioned these are net paid subscribers. I add a few and then I lose a few through attrition.
IMO You should have 1,000 paid subscribers by now and 30,000 to 75,000 total subscribers.
The pool of "Substack users" should be going up as more people discover Substack. I always thought this would benefit the established writers and I'm now in this group.
At one time, I thought more readers and subscibers would beget more readers and more subscribers ... but this hasn't happened. It was happening for a while.
Yes, there are more subscribers, but there's also more Substack sites. I don't know how that ratio works out, but it would be worth knowing if there are more or less readers per page than there were a few years ago.
Too many fat fingers for the small screen. Credit card compromised. Takes time to get a new one. Suddenly one discovers just how many writers one has been supporting. New card sits in the incoming mail and the failed payment notices keep coming in. In the case of the national newspaper I needed to unsubscribe anyway but they don't make it easy. Too many writers without a conscience on the payroll there. Conformity is rewarded. Editors seek to toe the line. A lot of people are inclined to keep their head down until they get to the ballot box.
So glad to hear of your fellowship from the Brownstone Institute.
I think a lot of folks thought in 2022 we were coming out of the scamdemic but with the govt caused inflation, & steady lies from the lockstep bureaus, & excess deaths happening, ignored by the very people who are paid to track such things, well it's all a bit too much at times.
Substack seems to have many more followers now that have made me see the worth of the "Mute" option.
Most working people don't have the time to read a number of even great articles online, & the older retired folks manage to keep up with a few authors, but can only afford to support a small number. I'm thankful for all the truth tellers keeping on day after day. God bless you in your local, national & international concerns & endeavors.
I'm gonna take the contrarian view and say simply there is no panacea.
So "get yours" while you can Bill - and Substack can't help but be part of that in a way....
~
But you and I know both - we own the content of our place - to a degree - we own that which we present - we got copyright on it Bill.
~
I put forth the journalist stayed true to the profession so to speak - their value will be evident soon enough - and the value they have is anybody's willingness to listen to a journalist....and once you have lost that - once you have "sold your soul" - you never get that back - so Bill - you haven't sold your soul best I can tell, so odds are your value is higher in the minds of others likeminded with you!
~
Tis ironic ain't it.....sort of like them pee-wees from Buffalo....on a bus full of ambition.
You've been one one of my greatest supporters. I have several very generous subscribers. I also have many people who have used the "Ko-Fi" button I include for "tips."
I have a Spider Sense that Substack or Stripe or the censors don't like that payment option. My Ko-Fi donations were keeping the light bill on for several months, but they are down significantly this month.
For what it is worth, I made a willing commitment to subscribe to another place, but was informed arrangements were being worked out with a fiscal provider and until then there will be no subscription fee payment.....so maybe I'm either reading more into it that there is or maybe SubStack has realized - best to have more than one providing fiscal services.
Moreover, and on top of that - I request nobody pay a fee to read what I type at my own Substack place and I sure enough do appreciate the service provided in that regard, but so happens as an early author here on the entity referred to as "SubStack" an offer was made to invest in said entity and I accordingly did as such up to close to the limit for somebody not "certified" - and I got receipt of said payment but seems it has gone into some sort of "angel-investor" black-hole being I ain't heard shit about it for going on now more than a year - but I got my receipt - and I'm really more than curious - what is the status of that?
My own sense of urgency in obtaining information has waned this year. The few paid subs i have publish good analysis and helped me find sanity and community.
My priority now is how best to avoid:
the fallout from the normalization of expertocracy ruling my life,
the imbeciles still churning out lies and rationale, and
the lack of buying power of my fixed income.
I dedicate approx 2hrs/day to read and research, which is decreased from high WuFlu time to tackle home chores and repairs. 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.'
That's a great article, Don. Thanks for sharing the link. I recommend any readers interested in this topic, take a look at it. I'd found some other stories that rank Substack authors by revenue or total subscribers, but hadn't seen this one. It does jibe with the other articles in that Matt Taibbi, Alex Berenson, Dr. Malone, Dr. Mercola and Steve Kirsch are the top-ranking "Covid contrarian" or "freedom" writers.
I'm very skeptical newsletters like your Local Epidemiologist, Robert Reich's newsletter and Dan Rather's have the numbers Substack claims they have.
You might remember articles where I referenced Bob Durring, who writes "The Wary One" Substack. According to a Substack-written feature story on this fairly new newsletter author, he has "thousands" of paid subscribers and reached this point in only about 60 days. I'm skeptical of these numbers because the numbers of "likes," Reader Comments and cross-posts his articles generate is a tiny fraction of what my articles produce. And I definitely don't have "thousands" of paid subscribers.
I'd like to know what percentage of Substack authors have "Hundreds" of paid subscribers. I've read that there are 17,000 Substack authors who have at least one paid subscriber.
It's a guess, but I'd say my 299 paid subscribers probably puts me in the top 95 to 98 percent of Substack authors.
My impression is that Substack is embarrassed that so many of its top performers are "science deniers." The writers the company highlights and promotes are those that go along with the bogus authorized narratives. - something I consider to be a "tell."
Covid is an old topic for a lot of people. Either they're no longer interested in reading about it, or there's simply not a constant stream of news to read and chat about.
But there is a constant stream of news from the Troy, Alabama, area.
"Covid fatigue" is no doubt an issue as well. Mark Oshinksie sent me an email on this piece and made the same observation. Many people might be tired of Covid topics by now.
I try to mix up my content so it's not "All Covid all the time." Authors like me will never run out of lies we can debunk ... or try to debunk.
IMO All the accepted narratives are either bogus or dubious. Substackers have a monopoly on these stories since we know 99.9 percent of our colleagues in the MSM accept and believe the litany of false narratives.
UPDATE: Life is funny. I just posted an article, noting that I'd gotten only 40 new subscribers in the month of November and, today, I got a boost of 74 (!) new subscribers from one article. That article was "Everything is a lie." The reason it produced do many new subscribers is that Dr. Meryl Nass posted it or cross-posted it at her "Chaos" Substack.
Needless to say, thank you very much Dr. Nass, who is one of the great "rock stars" of the "freedom" movement and one of the more significant Substackers in the world. (Dr. Nass is also a regular contributor and supporter of the Brownstone Institute and one of the best known contributors at Children's Health Defense's media outlets - two of my favorite organizations).
This proves how significant it is to Substack authors when a much-better known writer cross-posts your content.
I'd note that my previous seven original articles netted me 11 subscribers. This piece only got me two or three new subscribers when I first posted it - and then 72 more after Dr. Nass cross-posted it.
A Johns Hopkins meta-analysis of 18000 studies proved that lockdowns didn’t work and worse, killed people by stopping those with cancer or heart conditions from getting testing and treatment:
Could you please explain why no Health Agency researched the 30+ COVID cures but instead censored and banned the doctors successfully applying them? Would a successful cure block the Emergency Use Authorization of the lethal vaccines?:
Should every single vaxxed on the planet be suing Pfizer and Moderna for deliberately hiding human DNA plasmids in their vaccines, and Pfizer, for injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) sequence in the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada? !!!

9/11: two "planes", yet 8 towers down. WTC7 imploded, free falling on its footprint, in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach as well as the unblemished Deutsche Bank. All 7 World Trade Center towers and that bank needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center...
The “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings.

- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by 200 infiltrated FBI mason agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.
In 2022, the same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the demonstrations of millions of Brazilians against the stolen elections through the rigged voting machines owned by mason Soros:
- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries, and overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” (tampering) by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas). Check SoundChoice.org or videos.
- COVID was designed as a primer for even more lethal COVID haccines:
2. There's proof of deliberate geoengineering to increase global temperatures and droughts, and decrease albedo by dissolving clouds with satellite and Weather Radars’ Electro-Magnetic Frequencies.
3. Life involves a carbon cycle. A war on carbon is a war on life, causing food scarcity, increase in food prices and famines. Decarbonization is part of the plan to exterminate 95% of us.
- Apart from sin-empowered demons, what is their main source of power? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of free endless money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.). Also, insider information, sabotage, infiltration, manufactured news and events to create profitable market-movements, etc.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) create trillions out of thin air and launder them through their Banks, foundations, and International loans and “aid”, with which they buy puppeticians and seats in the boards of the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), judiciary, corporations, media, healthcare, universities, foundations, political parties, etc.
They can act as long as the majority keeps daydreaming. Their worst nightmare is that people wake up, find out all the crimes, and seek justice/revenge. They are only 8000. We are a million to one. They are scared and know they are walking a tight rope until they achieve the CBDC full digi-tatorship.
We've got a very small window of opportunity to fight or ... die (they want to murder 95% of us).
President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
More and more people are turning away from Network news. Instead This is where they're looking for information along with social media sites and blogs that often quote Substack writers. One thing that helps is having easily shareable posts. Just some additional thoughts to add to your statistics.
The death of network news is a very important trend. Most if not all of the big (and captured) liberal newspapers and magazines are also bleeding money. Many might be dead already absent subsidies from people like Bill Gates, tax-payer funded ad buys from the public health agencies and the ownership of billionaires who seemingly don't care that these businesses lose massive amounts of money.
I listen to a lot of podcasts on (mostly) YouTube. Some of the ones I regularly watch have 500k, a million, or more subscribers/followers. They all started with nothing, and some said they basically were going nowhere for the first few years before things really took off. They weren’t doing it for the money initially, they were doing it because they loved it. If your attitude going in is that you immediately need to be able to financially support yourself with the new venture rather than doing it just because it brings you satisfaction and happiness, then I think that will lead to disappointment and burnout.
Also, and I’m just speaking for myself, though I suspect I’m not the only one thinking this, is that as a follower and consumer of news, essays etc. I don’t really have any interest in how the sausage is made. Meaning, I don’t need to know how many subscribers a person has, or how much income they are or aren’t making from it. That kind of article might be interesting to other content creators, but I have no interest in it.
I hope you understand I am not trying to criticize or insult you, I think you’re a talented writer and I probably share 95% of your beliefs. I am a paid subscriber to several content creators, but those subscription costs add up pretty quickly, and it seems that a lot of people are trying to get into this space now. I would like to pay for more subscriptions, but have to watch the budget.
Perhaps look at this as a part time venture for the time being? That might take some of the pressure off, and allow for more creativity. Just my 2 cents, and probably what my comment is worth. In any case I hope that you are very successful going forward in your chosen path
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff. I realize most people won't be interested in "How the sausage is made" or any newsletter author's "sob story." I continue to write about this and include this data only because I think Substack trends are themselves a very important story.
Substack became the "go-to" place for people looking for alternative or "dissident" journalism and commentary. If there's no Substack - full of skeptics and contrarians like myself - the probability all these dubious narratives would resonate with even more people would be much greater. That is, we need Substack in a world where the entire MSM is captured. But we won't have a vibrant and important Substack if most of its writers can only make a couple hundred dollars every month.
An in-depth look at my specific numbers and trends illustrates some bigger macro issues IMO.
We still need a better alternative for independent writers IMO.
When I started this site, money wasn't a big issue because I could sell stocks when needed to pay the bills. Then, one day, I woke up and I'd sold all my stocks. I was now on my own and had to be self-supporting with my writing job. I thought by year two or three, I would have already reached this place ... But I "thought wrong."
Dennis, thank you for everything you do for our cause. Your genrosity has helped me keep writing at this site. I hope you get to meet Jeffrey Tucker and some more of the Brownstone writers in the future.
Yes there may be too much to read/not enough time, but I support your 'paranoid' theory. Big Tech is left-leaning and Substack and its ownership are no different. I get the feeling they feigned tolerance as they were building and trying to expand the reach of their platform. Perhaps they no longer want to do that. There seems to be major disparities in left vs right accounts, where even the most stellar article from a conservative writer only garners at best several hundred likes, while vapid histrionic leftist nonsense gets several thousand. If other left leaning platforms engage in suppression &/or promotion of only one side, I can't see why SS would be any different. (And I can't imagine they haven't attracted pressure to do so from TPTB).
On another note, I received one of these emails as well, but I never post, purely here for the reading experience and comments. They might have sent one to every account.
hey Bill - no shame in publishing upbeat, interesting local interest stories. there's a need for that. but why assume that your newspaper readership wouldn't necessarily be interested in some of the topics from your original substack? or for example, a piece regarding a regional plan based on UN2030 sustainable development goals that affects pike county locally. i bet some of the colorful characters you've chronicled at the citizen held some pretty contrarian views and that your readership there might be more receptive than you think
Not much to add here, but I've noticed that recently I'm seeing way more "failed payments". Perhaps people got new debit cards and still think they're paid subscribers?
My numbers if you're interested: 6,330 subscribers, 256 paid. (Just over 4%)
Thanks, SC. Our numbers are very similar. I'm at 6,740 and was at 298 paid a day ago ... but now just hit 300. Yipee!
I should have mentioned these are net paid subscribers. I add a few and then I lose a few through attrition.
IMO You should have 1,000 paid subscribers by now and 30,000 to 75,000 total subscribers.
The pool of "Substack users" should be going up as more people discover Substack. I always thought this would benefit the established writers and I'm now in this group.
At one time, I thought more readers and subscibers would beget more readers and more subscribers ... but this hasn't happened. It was happening for a while.
Yes, there are more subscribers, but there's also more Substack sites. I don't know how that ratio works out, but it would be worth knowing if there are more or less readers per page than there were a few years ago.
That would be a very interesting metric - average readers per Substack newsletter today ... compared to, say, two or four years ago.
Too many fat fingers for the small screen. Credit card compromised. Takes time to get a new one. Suddenly one discovers just how many writers one has been supporting. New card sits in the incoming mail and the failed payment notices keep coming in. In the case of the national newspaper I needed to unsubscribe anyway but they don't make it easy. Too many writers without a conscience on the payroll there. Conformity is rewarded. Editors seek to toe the line. A lot of people are inclined to keep their head down until they get to the ballot box.

Substack seems to have many more followers now that have made me see the worth of the "Mute" option.

- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries, and overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” (tampering) by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas).

- COVID was designed as a primer for even more lethal COVID haccines:

- You are the carbon they want to exterminate!
1. No one denies that man affects the climate, but scientists disagree on the amount and causes.
Prehistoric data from ice cores proves that temperature rise precedes carbon release in the atmosphere, not the other way around.

2. There's proof of deliberate geoengineering to increase global temperatures and droughts, and decrease albedo by dissolving clouds with satellite and Weather Radars’ Electro-Magnetic Frequencies.

3. Life involves a carbon cycle. A war on carbon is a war on life, causing food scarcity, increase in food prices and famines. Decarbonization is part of the plan to exterminate 95% of us.

- Apart from sin-empowered demons, what is their main source of power? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of free endless money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.). Also, insider information, sabotage, infiltration, manufactured news and events to create profitable market-movements, etc.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) create trillions out of thin air and launder them through their Banks, foundations, and International loans and “aid”, with which they buy puppeticians and seats in the boards of the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), judiciary, corporations, media, healthcare, universities, foundations, political parties, etc.
They can act as long as the majority keeps daydreaming. Their worst nightmare is that people wake up, find out all the crimes, and seek justice/revenge. They are only 8000. We are a million to one. They are scared and know they are walking a tight rope until they achieve the CBDC full digi-tatorship.
We've got a very small window of opportunity to fight or ... die (they want to murder 95% of us).

It's important that people share, not the articles, but the information! I'm expendable. Saving the free world, is not!
More and more people are turning away from Network news. Instead This is where they're looking for information along with social media sites and blogs that often quote Substack writers. One thing that helps is having easily shareable posts. Just some additional thoughts to add to your statistics.
The death of network news is a very important trend. Most if not all of the big (and captured) liberal newspapers and magazines are also bleeding money. Many might be dead already absent subsidies from people like Bill Gates, tax-payer funded ad buys from the public health agencies and the ownership of billionaires who seemingly don't care that these businesses lose massive amounts of money.
I listen to a lot of podcasts on (mostly) YouTube. Some of the ones I regularly watch have 500k, a million, or more subscribers/followers. They all started with nothing, and some said they basically were going nowhere for the first few years before things really took off. They weren’t doing it for the money initially, they were doing it because they loved it. If your attitude going in is that you immediately need to be able to financially support yourself with the new venture rather than doing it just because it brings you satisfaction and happiness, then I think that will lead to disappointment and burnout.
Also, and I’m just speaking for myself, though I suspect I’m not the only one thinking this, is that as a follower and consumer of news, essays etc. I don’t really have any interest in how the sausage is made. Meaning, I don’t need to know how many subscribers a person has, or how much income they are or aren’t making from it. That kind of article might be interesting to other content creators, but I have no interest in it.
I hope you understand I am not trying to criticize or insult you, I think you’re a talented writer and I probably share 95% of your beliefs. I am a paid subscriber to several content creators, but those subscription costs add up pretty quickly, and it seems that a lot of people are trying to get into this space now. I would like to pay for more subscriptions, but have to watch the budget.
Perhaps look at this as a part time venture for the time being? That might take some of the pressure off, and allow for more creativity. Just my 2 cents, and probably what my comment is worth. In any case I hope that you are very successful going forward in your chosen path
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff. I realize most people won't be interested in "How the sausage is made" or any newsletter author's "sob story." I continue to write about this and include this data only because I think Substack trends are themselves a very important story.
Substack became the "go-to" place for people looking for alternative or "dissident" journalism and commentary. If there's no Substack - full of skeptics and contrarians like myself - the probability all these dubious narratives would resonate with even more people would be much greater. That is, we need Substack in a world where the entire MSM is captured. But we won't have a vibrant and important Substack if most of its writers can only make a couple hundred dollars every month.
An in-depth look at my specific numbers and trends illustrates some bigger macro issues IMO.
We still need a better alternative for independent writers IMO.
When I started this site, money wasn't a big issue because I could sell stocks when needed to pay the bills. Then, one day, I woke up and I'd sold all my stocks. I was now on my own and had to be self-supporting with my writing job. I thought by year two or three, I would have already reached this place ... But I "thought wrong."
This kind of writing takes some nerve - a topic most of us avoid - personal finances.
Bill
Thanks for what you do. And thanks for letting me know about Brownstone. I will add them to my year donation list.

Dennis, thank you for everything you do for our cause. Your genrosity has helped me keep writing at this site. I hope you get to meet Jeffrey Tucker and some more of the Brownstone writers in the future.
Yes there may be too much to read/not enough time, but I support your 'paranoid' theory. Big Tech is left-leaning and Substack and its ownership are no different. I get the feeling they feigned tolerance as they were building and trying to expand the reach of their platform. Perhaps they no longer want to do that. There seems to be major disparities in left vs right accounts, where even the most stellar article from a conservative writer only garners at best several hundred likes, while vapid histrionic leftist nonsense gets several thousand. If other left leaning platforms engage in suppression &/or promotion of only one side, I can't see why SS would be any different. (And I can't imagine they haven't attracted pressure to do so from TPTB).
On another note, I received one of these emails as well, but I never post, purely here for the reading experience and comments. They might have sent one to every account.
hey Bill - no shame in publishing upbeat, interesting local interest stories. there's a need for that. but why assume that your newspaper readership wouldn't necessarily be interested in some of the topics from your original substack? or for example, a piece regarding a regional plan based on UN2030 sustainable development goals that affects pike county locally. i bet some of the colorful characters you've chronicled at the citizen held some pretty contrarian views and that your readership there might be more receptive than you think
