200,000 Subscribers
Just saw that my blog reached 200,000 subscribers.
A big thank you to everyone who has been reading over the years and for all the encouraging feedback on my posts. It really kept me motivated to continue writing these long-form articles.
And an extra thank you to those who support this journey with a paid subscription. I really appreciate it. Your support makes this work as an independent researcher possible.
P.S. I am currently working on an exciting new article. If things go smoothly, it should be out next weekend.
