About deleting some of your subscribers, Ben. It is disheartening, I know, to have a 50% open rate ( or whatever). I am always tempted to unsubscribe some of my non reading subscribers as I am sure they are the cause of my low open rate. I tell myself I would rather have 100 people who read than have 280, half of whom never open the email. Which makes sense, BUT, here is the snag: I am not at all sure the metrics are correct. I think a lot of people who seem to NOT be opening my posts actually are opening them. For example, I have seven subscribers who leave comments all the time -- yet the metrics show they have never opened any of the posts either in email on on line?! You might want to check with the Substack site to help to clarify before bouncing out a bunch of subscribers. Let me know what you learn. For myself, I only delete the subscribers who I recognize as 1.) obviously spamming ( about 10 so far) and 2.) those who show as not even receiving my posts perhaps through faulty email addresses.

I wasn't going to do anything until the New Year. But maybe I'll check things out first?
Omg I’m famous ‘big boobs in all’ 💃
Girl, You've been famous in my life for thirty years!
Well that took an unexpected turn! Nicely done Ben.
I know! I put that up and then scrolled down the page only to see it had already been restocked! 😆
Oh, you meant the story!🤣I thought you were laughing about the post I restacked. Yeah, I told you he was a cad and a womanizer!
