If I were making more than 1 million through Substack I would probably move from Substack.

Probably set up my own site (or hire someone to do it if I didn't know how) and use a cheaper service for payments and email delivery. Since their cut grows with revenue I guess it would make sense to move at some point as you grow.

Email deliverability is really hard and you get some network effects with their app. I am usually a roll your own type of girl but here I’m genuinely not so sure…..

Sure, but can't Mailerlite or whoever do equally well at a fraction of the price? The one reason I'd stay is probably if it genuinely boosts growth through app visibility and simplifying onboarding and stuff like that.

I can see both sides of this, I think I have bias cause I’ve known (much smaller) writers to move off and have problems + lots of churn It funny too, SS only takes 10% — a pittance compared to the 30% of a Clanker!

Maybe Substack will up their take rate once they support minting too!
