Good stuff. I kind of made a joke out of my referral page, but sent it out anyway, just for fun:

I think we have a lot to consider when sending stuff like this out there to our readers. They want to help, and tapping into that enthusiasm is important, but our reputation is the most important thing. Let's make sure we navigate this space appropriately.

Ah I’ve been waiting for your perspective on the referral as I didn’t quite understand it all at first. I’ve turned it on and I’ll send an email out this week I think to inform people of it.

I’m going to try and join you today at 12! Depending on how baby is. How do we join? 🤍

I’m interested to see how referrals works, I may well follow your lead with removing the leaderboard and the 25 subs reward. I’ve got boost turned in but it feels a bit uncomfortable. Every week I think about turning off paid altogether, but for now it’s on. Thanks for sharing as always 💛

I just checked out Boost -- you can activate it once you turn on paid on Substack. It has some interesting features, so if I do turn on paid I’ll be sure to turn in Boost too! I just sent a request to join your LinkedIn group for Substack writers. And I hear you on maxing out how many writers to subscribe to. There are some amazing publications here!
