Appreciation
Something extra coming soon for the subscribers.
I have been absent a few days lately because am reorganising a lot of stuff and farm life in spring is the busiest time ever. Nevertheless, I am also trying to streamline my content and since substack seems to work well, I am considering how to make the people who subscribe here get as much extras as I possibly can provide. There will be some announcements soon along with a slight increase in yearly subscriptions (currently $80 and likely to go to $100 and in any case no more than $120 at most) But if I read the rules correctly and I remember right, people who get yearly memberships at one rate keep that rate so if you want to save $20-40 on a yearly membership get in before the next week or two when I plan to announce some freebies which are outside of substack and will be available only to yearly subscribers.
Thank you to those readers who do subscribe monthly too, I will see if there is some way to reward you as well, though the book keeping is a lot easier with yearly subscribers.
In any case, I will endeavour to keep this and the OG blog going with as much useful information as I can, or at least entertaining, and with any luck, also continue to expose frauds and other bad actors too.
Very odd occurrence when subscribing to annual. Bank called to verify transaction. Reason it's weird. Just spent large sum for car repairs this morning. No calls to verify that purchase. Have never had subscription purchase of any kind get a call from the bank to verify. Even with fraud prevention, not a single call for some considerable past purchases. Why now for an $80 substack subscription? Just piqued my curiosity receptors.
