You: Mom I’m doing a Substack and I’m going to exploit you.
Me: ok, honey
Full disclosure: 99.9% of the things Dan has said about me have been true. I still state that I do not have a shrine to Keith Morrison, it is a homage.
So, what do you do when people decline or ignore the ask? I once asked a former pastor to subscribe and he just ignored it. Which, when you think about it, is kind of hilarious.
When people decline, I let it go. Though nobody has told me to take my Substack and shove it. Same for when I feel like people ignore it--I can get a sense of people don't want another subscription. But I find a lot of people just forget and when I bring it up again they subscribe. I rarely just manually subscribe somebody without their permission though.
