Google's latest layoffs on the Chrome team really hits hard. They are letting go of people that desperately want to keep the web open. You can hate on Google on you want (I'm with you!) but the people on the Chrome team were amazing and only wanted what was best for the web.

This was so incredibly short sighted and stupid (and ultimately counterproductive)

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

Here’s some napkin math for how expensive Substack is compared to its competitors, assuming that roughly 7% of all subscribers will pay for their subscriptions, and that subscriptions cost $5/month.

Spreadsheet comparing pricing of newsletter platforms: 7% paid @ $5/mo Substack Ghost Pro Self-hosted Ghost* Beehiiv Buttondown Mailchimp** 10 subscribers (1 paid) $0.50 $9 $12 $43 $9 $20 50 subscribers (4 paid) $2 $9 $12 $43 $9 $20 100 subscribers (7 paid) $3.50 $9 $12 $43 $9 $20 250 subscribers (18 paid) $9 $9 $12 $43 $9 $20 500 subscribers (35 paid) $17.50 $9 $27 $43 $9 $20 1,000 subscribers (70 paid) $35 $15 $27 $43 $29 $45 5,000 subscribers (350 paid) $175 $65 $27 $78 $79 $100 10,000 subscribers (700 paid) $350 $99 $27 $96 $139 $135 25,000 subscribers (1,750 paid) $875 $165 $87 $149 $239 $310 50,000 subscribers (3,500 paid) $1,750 $315 $217 $219 $319 $450 100,000 subscribers (7,000 paid) $3,500 $565 $412 $290 - $800 * Assuming $12 hosting fees, but you can get this number down lower. Assumes ~weekly email sending. ** There may be additional fees to monetize MailChimp newsletters since it’s not built-in. This also assumes ~weekly email sending. Flat fees calculated based on cheapest plans. Also calculated based on annual billing, if month-to-month amounts differ.

Quick poll for Mastodon server administrators : what is your biggest pain point between those two?

You can add a bit more detail in a reply, and I am not interested in other areas.
