One person’s treasure is another person’s blog-spam. Substack will fall victim to this too regardless of how writers are paid. Eventually LCD blog-spammers will want a piece of the pie and will “scramble”, as they say in blog-speak, popular posts/information to generate a post of their own. This will devalue anything published solely on Substack and create a similar Medium/Google search effect when a user is seeking info. At some point the game isn’t about generating an image that you pay writers but proving your platform can support ANY writer.
