this is a reasonable point I hear a lot and one I sympathize with (and I do not have a substack, so keep that in mind). But a lot of us can& #39;t get staff work, have been trying for years, have things we& #39;d like to write, and would like to get paid for it, and have folks who want to. https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1381744630207811585">https://twitter.com/davidmack...

I& #39;m not interested in trying to turn a paid newsletter into generational wealth. But I would like to make a middle class salary as a writer. And the only model that seems to be expanding is direct funding from a small group of readers.

Anyway. I like outlets with collections of good writers more than single-voiced newsletters in general. But it& #39;s also true that a lot of outlets have people who piss me off and it& #39;s hard for me to spend my limited financial resources on them. It& #39;s a quandary!
