I'm glad you said this, Kristina, because I was confused when he mentioned leveraging his Substack to sell digital products; I was under the impression that Substack penalizes writers for trying to monetize in ANY way beyond the platform (e.g., using Substack to funnel readers towards an e-commerce site). I might be mistaken, but that's what raised my skepticism.

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out what to do on Substack, but Medium is feeling like less of a fruitful use of my time since several years ago. I like that Substack feels a bit like the old Tumblr days — much more creative freedom what with all the posting formats and the nature of the feed. I checked out your publication and some of your YouTube videos about it and am happy to see you've having success with it! Alles Gute! :)
