You know the joke that tech just rediscovers the pre-tech economy?

Like a rideshare company will pick up groups of passengers from a location and drop them to the same location in the direction you're going - oh, you just discovered buses. That kind of thing?

This is heading towards a you just discovered online magazines/newspapers jokes.

Consider: - bundle the best writers together

- pay them a salary so they feel some comfort

- have an editor who decides

- brand it so people trust the name

etc




Ha, that’s fair, but a magazine-style model is only one way to go. Something like diminishing cost for adding additional subscriptions (with the discount split between the newsletters I subscribe to) would be effective in making me spend more there. (And probably abandon an off-substack paid subscription)
