P.S. What the guide shows you is how to cancel your Substack subscription. Then you can subscribe to Ghost, free or paid. That part should be pretty intuitive.

So, it looks like the Ghost auto renewal is working. Is that what you expected?

‘Kin ‘ell, what a nightmare for you Jessica. So I’ve just subscribed to Splattered on Substack and updated my subscription on Ghost. I think that was how you planned it should work? Hope you garner enough support!

Yep, that's the plan. I was about to respond to your email but it looks like you got it figured out. Some people get angry at me about all this, and I just have to say, I didn't wake up and decide it would be fun to move back and forth across platforms. It's disruptive to everyone, including me, and it would've been nice if we all didn't have to endure technocrats and their algorithms trying to decide what content everyone should be consuming. But hopefully, this offers a longterm solution and no more shuffling.

Hey Jessica, I'm a web dev, if you want I can try to help you migrate to Ghost. Can't promise anything since I have not done it before, but may be worth a shot. DM me.

Thanks for the offer. I think the simplest solution here is for people to follow some simple instructions and move themselves. The migrate tool clearly works for content and free subscribers, but if Ghost/Substack can't migrate paid subscribers I don't know if workarounds are going to make life any easier for people.

I’ve been following and subscribing with paid subscription for several years, but retirement has realized a new budget and has reduced me to a free subscriber . I’ll follow you to the end of whatever forum you wind up on because I believe in your message so much. Shine on woman!!!

Duly noted. I will just keep renewing on Ghost and leave your Sentinel Intelligence Substack to die slowly on the vine. No offense but I have no interest in your personal life trials. I'm sure that appeals to some people but I'm here for the doomer stuff and the prepper lessons.

As for my own Substack page, I'm still watching that to see how things go moving forward. If I start seeing a stagnation or loss of people, I will make a decision then. So far, it's been a slow uptick but it always has. I'm okay with that. I'm more concerned about the possibility of censorship these days. Substack used to say they would protect us from that but now I'm wondering if the new corporate sponsors are going to change that. If anyone hears of any changes in that direction, I'd appreciate a heads up.
