You should just incentivize publishers to use Substack, which actually has the backing and has a good option (publishers can choose to publish for free or by inducing for-profit viewership) and writers don't have to pay. This is a much better option than another no-name entity.
- sneak 6y agoI don't think that replacing one centralized rentseeking publisher with a different one is an improvement. We need better distribution models, not different bosses.
- arthurcolle 6y agoSubstack is certainly immediately better than Medium.
- ryanobjc 6y agoWe don’t need a thousand damned subscriptions each trying to kill us from the death of a thousand paper cuts. There’s no future for sub space. I want to toss down my quarter and move on without leaving my data and email address for someone to milk.
- arthurcolle 6y agoI agree, but I'd rather use something that actually has working economics, than a Medium-like model that forces everyone to pay for stuff they might not read.
