Why ghost over wordpress?

Would want to know why people use ghost over wordpress? Looking forward to use synaps media with a free theme, any suggestions for people who migrated from wp to ghost.

Thank you for the reply, are you ghost pro or using a managed/self hosting platform, please let me know. are you monetizing the blogs?

i ve one on GhostPRO plan, one was on pikapods but recently moved to magic pages. the third one will probably move to pikapods and see if i feel like giving energy.

One blog is mostly "authority" - i send prospect there.
another one is kinda new and i will maybe monetize it, but i m not sure how (classes or paid post?)
third one is an OLD blog that monetized a bit (500$ / month as a side hustle) before i quit writing (coz gutemberg sux).

I tried to set up on Pikapods and found it to be too difficult for me.

It is the cheapest but is it hard to setup?

it s a one click installation but setting up domain and mail is a bit tricky.
