Congrats on this milestone, Michał. Can't wait to write up my summary of the year. Although I think it won't be 52 issues, I won't stress about it.

There are so many things to add to this, but I'd like to highlight one: the platform does matter. I've spent nearly two years on Substack without interacting with fellow writers and basically writing into the void. See here https://x.com/akoskm/status/1868900899030286690

My growth exploded when I started talking to other people. I got recommendations and shoutouts. Now, 80% of my new subscribers are through the Substack platform (recommendations mostly). It is also important to know who you team up with, what circle of authors you talk to, and if they are willing to interact with you as well because it's not a guaranteed thing.

Glad we connected on Substack, and I truly enjoy your writing. Wish you a successful 2025!
