Hey @andrewchen when you looked at the substack investment, what did you think the TAM was? We used a paywall software for content. Its so bad. I’d want someone to do substack but for web but am curious how big the market is.

If you read the original a16z announcement you can get a feel for it. I’m thinking it’s an alternative to the media industry (as opposed to something specific like paywall software)
Yes. But substack only limits some growth features. For example, have web based paywall content allows for sharing or search traffic which then converts to paid.

I love substack for the simplicity though.

@theSamParr what tool were you trying? Currently testing@tryPico to see if “paywalling” our top (organic search) trafficked articles with a free sign up to read will have a positive impact on conversion rate of those pagesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
