Well I clicked "Change" on my annual subscription and selected monthly subscription (to be fair, this is not quite recommended above, but it seemed sensible to me).
The result is that I now have a monthly subscription (receipt for monthly payment taken issued today 12 January, next renewal stated as 12 February) , overlapping with my annual subscription continuing until 28 April :(
So I'm paying double for a couple of months. Don't do this!
Not enough money to be worth pursuing, but it's basically a scam by Substack. I can see no circumstances in which someone opting to "change" their annual subscription to monthly would want the two subscriptions to overlap.
To be super clear: all my ire is directed at Substack, not the owner of this blog. I'm grateful for past good ideas from the blog, and sorry it's shutting down.
Joining for your 6 month blaze of glory. Your AI takes always give me more useful things to think about than the usual polarized takes.
