Thanks for this Shai. I have been quite discouraged since joining Substack. I feel like my notes are being sent into a giant void, and it doesn't matter the subject, only one person routinely engages. Perhaps I enjoyed a little too much success over at the now defunct Post.news and expected the same here, but you have encouraged me to keep going a little longer.

Please do keep going if writing is something you love! Having that one reader engaging with you means you're making a difference. Thank you for sharing your experience here and for letting me know that this post helped to keep you writing. Wishing you all the best with it! 💞

Thank you for writing this! I just started my Substack a week ago as I love to write but have always been too scared to share it. I decided it's time to change that! Your post is helpful and encouraging. And the bingo is fun too!
