Join Manil's 10,000,000+ subscribers (number is in binary)
In binary mode, the number 2 is written as 10, 4 (=22) as 100, 8 (=23) as 1000, etc. So 10,000,000 (i.e. 1 with 7 zeros) in binary is the same as 27 = 128. Substack subscribership supposedly grows exponentially, i.e. it doubles every fixed period (in binary, this means it adds a zero after every fixed period). So when I reach 2 × 128 = 256 subscribers we'll change the count to 100,000,000.
