Hi Amy, I noticed you have your Substacks set up as sections, not tags, and I'm wondering if you have any feedback on that (pros, cons, why you did it). I just set up a section for a topic that's sort of in my niche and sort of not in my niche (writing), which is why I chose to segment it that way, but I'm also debating whether my other pillars should remain as tags or switch to segments. If you have a minute, let me know, or save for the next Q and A!
Yes! I set it up that way to allow subscribers to unsubscribe from diff sections in their “manage subscription” settings. I send lots of emails so it helps people curate what lands in their inbox, and that’s something I can’t do with tags. I occasionally use tags to filter certain parts of my top bar, but mostly use sections! Hope that helps.

Yep, gotcha. That’s why I did it too. Thank you for your response.
