A more useful tool would be if subscribers actually received any kind of notice that writers they follow posted something.

At present, most articles (boosted or not) are being viewed by 1-5% of subscribers. That's abysmal distribution. I can't tell you how often a sub here who also follows me on other platforms will say, "Oh, wow! I didn't know you wrote these other stories."

Make it easier for people to read what they have subscribed to read.
