Although I generally agree with you London on this, as I had replied to a comment of yours on another article, $5.00 is still $5.00 unless you can find that it will be adjusted on Medium's TOS... Also, there are still a few hurdles with Stripe in some of these countries as well, that these new potential MPP members will have to deal with...

But, I agree. Unfortunately, that's the price we have to pay when using platforms we don't own or control. At the end of the day we are still guests on somebody else's platform.😕.

....and yet there are plenty on here still shilling for Substack...lol😆🤣
