This makes tons of sense - subscribers get your stories emailed directly to them. Sure, they MAY see your stories when they go to Medium, but they ALSO see them in their inbox. One more reminder to read. I've read that less than 10% of your followers will see any one story - so, if you have 12k followers, 1200 might SEE your story in their feed - what percentage of those READ it? But subscribers WANT your stories and so may see them in their feeds AND, of course, get an email when you publish. Great info, Burk!
