Good luck with your future endeavors Peter!

I've noticed that plateau for quite some time as well personally. I think Substack is reaching that certain point of saturation and so it either is costing readers too much to be subscribed to so many writers or only the top writers are the ones who are garnering attention. Likely a combination of both. It'd be interesting to see what comes of Substack in the future- it seems like most people have slowed down regardless, which makes it curious what will happen with this arena.

In any case, hopefully your future pursuits prove fruitful if not for others at least for yourself!
