With all the content you put out across the board, I'm the one that feels like I've got the short arms and deep pockets, cheatin' stealn' and a conscience.
Thomas you provide valuable, interesting as hell content. Do not feel bad about charging for it. I don't expect any content (product) worthwhile to be free. Continue to charge for your product.
I think people just want hot takes from you about current events but don’t want to pay extra for them. Typically content creators handle this demand by doing lots and lots of livestreams (which end up being kind of monotonous) and online media platforms/algorithms seem to favor that format because THEY can monetize them better. Everything is about streaming these days unfortunately and probably a lot of your audience is accustomed to that. Sorry you felt the need to justify getting paid for your work (and helping Burden get paid for his), parasocial followers must feel like you jilted them somehow by paywalling in-demand content even though most of the stuff you put out elsewhere is totally free.
There's always going to be complainers and whiners. I learned to ignore them a long time ago, because those people LITERALLY DO NOT MATTER AND WILL NEVER HAVE YOUR BACK.
They are simply bystanders and jealous and are of ZERO consequence. There are a TON of these people online now, and it's best to block and move on to people who matter.
I never realized this was even available, I’m not exactly plugged into this app but just subscribed to it. lmk if you’d want some additional funds to go towards anyone in a tight spot so you’re still being compensated and they can have access. Why not have a donation pool for these people? Seems like it’d be better to ask for this rather than send sly remarks your way. Take care.
What do you mean you don't get stipends from NGOs to produce regime complacent content?
The inconvenience of having to manage subscriptions in different places is a bit of a bother, but it is what it is, and not a big deal either way. I'm not certain because I've not done it, but if you were inclined I think you can belong to multiple "publications" on Substack itself, with subscriptions being separate between them. You might have known that and it might not have fit your needs, but I thought I'd mention it.

$5 is nothing! In this day and age? Incredibly good value added content! T777 abs Legend!

Kill nitpickers. Behead nitpickers. Roundhouse kick a nitpicker into the concrete.
No dollar spent here is wasted. My guess is it usually just figuring out if you've paid, how to pay... that sort of thing.
