    i’m glad we’re finally walking away from the notion quality writing should be free, innate of an ad-based ecosystem that worked (kind of) for trashy rage farms and listicle engines like buzzfeed and pretty much nothing else

        The fundamental difference between between entropy (noise) and its counterpart: information (signal). Thermodynamically, the former requires no effort to create, while the latter takes work (literally) and has far greater value for intelligent systems.

        Substack will be to Buzzfeed what order is to chaos.

        Free no. But the subs model has a way to go on pricing. The way subs is going, only a very few well known writers will make money, anyone else is screwed. Also disincentivises book length writing: why write a book when a weekly blog Rayna earns more We need Spotify for writers.

        Isn't Spotify's model pretty bad at compensating artists for their work?

        The hard part for me is finding publications worth paying for. I've subscribed and unsubscribed to several news sources from different countries the last few years. I still pay for Medium because I think the model has potential, but quality still seems low.

        Substack has been a much better experience than Medium. Quality is very high when you find the right writers. Got to the point where I unsubscribed from The Information because the analysis was that much better from Substackers who work in the industry they write about

        It’s a balance though, no? Paid will prop up the supply of quality writing for sure, but don’t we want to do something to try and get more people (particularly those with less) to read more quality writing?

        Buzzfeed used that clickbait ad driven crap to transform into a legitimate news platform at some point though.
