Was Medium paying people to write? Substack’s current growth hack seems to be paying certain writers as a way to subsidize subscription support. So I don’t think Substack’s goal is as clear as some might think. They aren’t a picks and shovels newsletter company. That was just a way to get people writing for them. It seems their real goal is to become a genuine publishing company.
