Everybody and their siblings is putting up 'Subscribe now' begging bowls. Who's going to do all that subscribing? Some of them show you a couple paragraphs, as if that was enough to get the purses open? Give it up. Give. It. Up. Subscriptions were for the mailing of paper magazines a century ago. Back when, you know, the whole world wasn't opened-wide on the net. Who subscribes to non-org mags anymore? The best podcasters have patreon accounts. Some even actually, and personally, thank contributors by name. People even send them stuff. Or get a bunch of big-media companies to get some kind of micropayment options online.
