I’m waiting for sub stack to start grouping writers together with coordinated schedules. They’ll eventually reinvent the magazine
- richardatlarge 5y agoWould they though? Magazines live on ads. No ads on Substack. I really hate ads, too
- ALittleLight 5y agoI expect it will be like a build-your-own magazine. Maybe you subscribe for 10-15 dollars a month and get to configure a list of 5-10 substackers who would take an equal share.
- richardatlarge 5y agoOr better yet, add a carnival feature where you pay x amount and you can create your own Substack reader, like building your own personal magazine
- wyclif 5y agoTheoretically, they can already do this with Substack Reader, though the feature isn't available yet. But it wouldn't surprise me if they had it coded up and ready to go already.
- giansegato 5y agoIt's already happening. It's called Every, it's a writer collective that works exactly as you describe. Its founder was the first Substack employee, that resigned to become a writer full time.
- richardatlarge 5y agoEvery is a business oriented collective, just to clarify
- 1123581321 5y agoYou can already do this. I’m not sure how the data is related behind the scenes, but there’s a conservative magazine published as several related substack newsletters. https://thedispatch.com/about?utm_source=menu-dropdown&sort=newsletter https://thedispatch.com/about?utm_source=menu-dropdown&sort=... They appear to charge $10/mo which is $40-80 more than their direct competitor, National Review. I assume that the delta is the price of not including ads.
