I understand the negative take on subs, but how much of it is tied to pricing? I have a deal running that takes the cost of a yearly subscription to just below $20.

I see a lot of pubs charging way more, but how many subs can people afford?

I think people need to be realistic about how much they can charge, and perhaps Substack needs to begin a bundling system or some other adjustments to its business model.

I kept reading and feeling worse and worse- annoyed almost at how negative your narrative was. I can't be annoyed though, as it's reality. It's important to talk about, I wish there was a stronger call to action or thing to do aside from lament but right now- this is what we have. We have these cathartic essays where we find other people feeling the same.
