Also, I think he's probably doing the right thing for himself. Tiago is on the path to getting a mainstream book deal. In self-improvement, he's on the Ben Hardy or James Clear path. A huge part of that book deal is based on the number of subscribers to his mailing list. A book deal is decent money, seemingly everyone gets an advance in the $200k range. But more importantly, it's a huge career level up for someone like Tiago. Every activity that doesn't build up your mailing list ends up being kind of a waste of time. I suspect that Tiago could actually make more money on Medium publishing behind their paywall than he's going to make in his personal subscription program. But it's not enough that it should be his focus. Also, I assume incentives will change again at Medium down the road as they keep trying to make the deal work for more and more authors. So maybe he'll come back, if just to cross post.
