I am not discounting the points you've made. I understand that there are definitely cases where 10% might be too high. Hell, it might even be applicable here.
Respectively, I disagree with your quoted comment. Are you sure its zero? Uber Rush delivery drivers make 75-80%. Where do you think the rest of the delivery fee goes? This was just from my first Google. I am sure you can find more examples of this being not the case.
Going back to the topic at hand. For a dev like me, I think 10% is high but agree with the points made. There are 100s of posts online of people writing shit for free. I am sure you can even find a dozen of subreddits alone for writing. From their POV this can be seen as a secondary source of income.
Most people who are GOOD writers - at a point where anyone would buy their 'product - have been writing for many years. They could even be doing this as a profession (think book writers). For them, do also see 10% being a high fee?

including your edit are home run!
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoUber Rush delivery, the App Store, and other similar platforms are different because they're providing the platform, and more importantly, they're often bringing you the customer. It's much more reasonable to pay a fee that's a percentage of revenue in that case. I was responding to the person who suggested that Slack charging for chat was analogous to what Substack is doing.
