Vox co founder Matthew Yglesias announces on November 13, 2020 that he is leaving Vox to launch Slow Boring on Substack for editorial independence, reportedly with a Substack Pro advance. By October 2024 Business Insider reports Slow Boring brings in more than 1 million dollars a year, of which Substack takes 10 percent, making him one of the platform's highest earners. He writes from Washington, DC. The advance and revenue figures are from press reports.
Open questions: The reported 250,000 dollar Substack Pro advance and the 1.4 million dollar annual figure could not be confirmed in a retrieved source; Business Insider reports only more than 1 million dollars a year.
