In the graph you present, the gradient is significantly higher from early Dec 2024 until mid Feb 2025 when it shows a sharp rise, presumably for the reasons you suggest. Your subscribers then continue to increase albeit at a much lower rate. The overall rise looks to my eye like a slow exponential. Personally I would have been very happy with these numbers (as far as subscribers are concerned anyway).
Many people who are subscribed don't read every post - especially those who have subscribed following a post that's dear to their hearts.
But it's the very distinct plateau which piqued my curiosity. Like the infamous Pause in global warming, I was curious to investigate the cause! It really does appear to be connected with the publishing of the J D Vance post. Of course, as always, correlation is not causation and I have no idea of the mechanism involved!
Fatigue & Despair. With so much official insanity going on all around us, it feels like we're just a handful of sane people, surrounded by an Establishment that has totally lost the plot. Where do we even begin to reclaim "our" country from those put in charge?
Yes, I understand, and it probably was related to that one post. Your numbers rose more rapidly after that but have continued to rise at a rate that increases in the longer term.
Personally, I blame the weather.
My view on correlation as causation is different but that's another discussion!
We're seeing so many fraudulent WEF Climate Emergency claims (alongside other madnesses, like Gender Politics and the White Privilege nonsense) we're all suffering from fatigue. Keep up the work to share the truth about WEF lies and New Feudalism the WEF Elite are pushing through anti-democracy politicians.
Well, let's see if linking to that post prolongs the flatlining... Useful to know!

Substack seems to be screwing with things - I wrote about some of this a month ago - https://ombreolivier.substack.com/p/the-enshttification-of-substack?r=7yrqz
Weirdly ever since that post my posts have had fewer visitors over all despite gaining me more subscribers
