I follow a bunch of people on substack. Things I've noticed as a reader: - It's both an email newsletter and a very nicely designed, clean web page - There's an easy-to-use payments system (I pitch in a few bucks to my favorite blogs). The writer can control on a per-post basis how much extra content paid subs get -- whole post, whole post but no ability to comment, or just a preview of the post. - They've actively recruited excellent writers, offering them contracts with minimum $ guarantees. There's nothing mind-blowing about it, but it's really well and tastefully done, which is more than you can say about 99% of the commericial web offerings.
