You are a man of principle, Dino. Because I don't have a job right now, I have stopped reading a lot of Substack posts as I feel guilty not being able to pay, so this is really helpful. Thanks.
This is helpful across every level. How to approach your writing, as well as how to approach others with mine. The approach of one optional donation per post, one at a time.
I do have allies on here, as I call them, who have large paid and unpaid groups of subscribers, and who I find valuable enough to read and comment. Some I even directly engage with, and they with me. I myself, as I repeatedly say, keep that circle small on purpose. It's more personal that way. Most writers here allow comments without a paid subscription, some require it, and a few, again, I'm able to chat with anyway. This just adds a personal touch to it, and I appreciate it - and your writing and chatting with me over the past year. Thank you, Dino!

Thanks, other writers I have subscribed to have made the same choice. You are sure right about how these monthly fees add up. Thank you.
Will you be offended if I don’t cancel?
Not at all my friend. I just want you to know my mind. Ultimately, you have earned the right to do with your money what you will. I thank you ✌🏻
Your writings are all excellent to me, Dino.
