Mostly because I don't like the fact that the readers of my blog are constantly being pushed towards subscribing to either the platform or the newsletter. It just shouldn't work like this...
I know, call to action, declarations, impulsive decisions, all those marketing hooks. But whenever I find an online resource, like a blog, to be valuable, I'll simply bookmark it, follow the author on X, and find my way to the content.
I don't like being pushed and I don't want anyone to go through this themselves. Maybe I'm naive, but I care about whoever visits my page, otherwise how would I expect to ever create a community around the topics I've been writing about?
That's why I've decided to migrate from Substack to a custom page I'm currently building. I'm proud of the result and content so far, and thought I'll show it here to ask for your opinions and feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Here's the page: https://toolongautomated.com
