New here? This publication makes one argument from several angles: your audience should belong to you, not to a platform. These four essays are the spine of it — read them in order.

The path

  1. Your audience is not your following — the distinction everything else rests on.
  2. Why I left WordPress — what the duct-taped stack really costs.
  3. Ghost vs Substack: the honest math — the 10% question, with numbers.
  4. The redirect rule — how to move platforms without losing Google.
