      What is the principled case for why it is important, transparency-wise, to know exactly how much Substack has paid or advanced every writer, but not for us to know exactly what every NYT staffer makes?

      It strikes me as unlikely that if you took all the people who left Substack in this confused huff and combined what they had netted for the platform in the last year, it would be anything but a tiny fraction of what Substack will make from Yglesias's first year alonepic.twitter.com/D1JJupv0Kc

      I think that's right but the longer term growth problem for substack will be that its potential peak audience looks different if it is a wide open space or if it is primarily a haven for cancel culture contrarians.

          Probably less than 1% now. But a company's brand forms over time and this will shape how the brand is seen, for better or worse.

          The long term growth problem is nobody can afford to subscribe to more than a few of these expensive newsletters. They need to start bundling them.

          There is not such thing as a "wide open space" anymore, is there? Substack was such a thing until the cancel culture warriors deemed it bad and unsafe - and decreed everybody "good" should leave.

          is the implication that substack would become more "wide open" if it kicked those contrarians off?
