FWIW, pretty much all the writers I follow primarily cover LGBTQ+ issues and they've nearly all moved to Substack at this point, so that's where I'm spending my time (and subscription money). I still have a handful of folks I'm supporting on Patreon but most of those are at the minimum levels at this point. And I pay Medium $5/month for the members' only content but I'm very close to dropping Medium since it hardly adds anything beyond what I'm now getting on Substack.
