> And the ‘how many subscriptions’ problem is real
I know you don't like this idea, Jeremiah, but Substack really needs to add a "buy a single issue" newsstand feature. It would let people try out other blogs easily, and give writers a new revenue stream of people who just want to read an article every six months.
I also think there needs to be some kind of group bundle option offered at some point. If I could pay a discounted price to get a choice of four blogs that I'm kind of interested in but not enough to actually pay for I'd probably be willing to pay a bit more overall.
Interesting that you mention "Abundance." I am about halfway through it now and I am extremely disappointed. It reflects complete ignorance of how the economy works. I thought it would be a rejection of the liberal fetish for regulation and central planning. Instead, it reflects the conviction that only the authors are qualified to make society's important decisions - zoning bad, vegans good. Cherry picked facts, many errors, no effort to falsify their beliefs. I hope to write a review soon on my substack, if you are interested.
I would argue but it's not that nobody cares enough to stop Trump from refusing to ban Tik Tok. It's that those of us who care don't know how we can impact the problem.

I love how every single comment under the "one good threads post" is just attacking the OP for having a conservative white friend
Is there any good writing out there on why Taylor Lorenz is Like That? fascinating person, truly

Remember the last time you instigated regime ?
Yeah, how did that turn out ?
