The appeal is that you get exposure from their readerbase. They ship you a - minor, but still - audience with the chance that it grows larger. It's not about the money and getting subscribers, very few reach that, and every author hates ads (the downside of these platforms, Substack is much better there).

It's about you liking to write, and liking that people read what you write, not income.
