Strangeness in the Substack subscriber numbers

They have been going up down up down in an odd fashion so I decided to document them.

The following 4 screenshots were all taken since 10:14 pm last night and are in chronological order. The 4th screenshot ends at 4:30 this afternoon. Are the numbers being beaten down? This has been a common pattern lately.

I thought I would add another screenshot. According to these numbers, I lost 35 subscribers this afternoon, but gained 15 paid subs today.

Totals dropping, paid increasing. With 89,000 visits today I have lost 60 subscribers!
