As a Substack user, I can sympathize with subscribers and their fatigue.
You are looking at my subscriptions for content, software and online services. Subscription fatigue is a hard limit barrier. Not every writer will get through it on a subscription basis.
Substack is a great alternative space for content creators. From the start it was obvious valued known celebrity talent would command payment. Pick any two and a writer can justify their subscriptions from readers. All four and sky is the limit.
I’m a storyteller. Writing is merely one means to capture what it is that I value. Substack is a safe place for getting those ideas, concepts and schemes into circulation. once seeded into the universe, those that are valued will be picked up. Subscribers like money will use them, tell others and a supply of views like a bank account reveal their true worth.
No money need trade hands. But those views lead to others and the next story. That is the next adventure I came here to find. That one will definitely be worth the price of admission. Substack fosters a sustainable platform for its users, content creators and the Commons
