while i was reading this post i was thinking that you have it wrong. yes, i did understand your points but still...
actually i was ready to say this: you are writing not for me, nor your readers, you are writing to get rid of the ideas that acumulate in your head. but in the end you said it yourself: "in the meantime i will write whenever i want and i will photograph whatever i want". now that is the right approach! do not forget it but forget about statistics. if you want to turn substack into a business, than yes, take in consideration all stats, otherwise keep it as a blog where you can do whatever you want whenever you want.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! 🥳 Substack doesn't have to bring an income but it's a part of my business. I didn't have a photography blog for years for fun (and at the moment, I don't have another blog anywhere), but to get new clients and grow my business. I wouldn't have a Substack without my business, since photography and writing aren't my hobbies (they are my job even though my flower pics bring only a fraction of my sales). So, in a way I will do whatever I want but it's no secret I'm always strategic about my choices here and elsewhere. ☺️
moi!

The Save button is dangerous and the copy link even more treacherous. 😁
Exactly!! 🫣
