Substack writers... I never want to subscribe. I just want a quick "pay 1000 SATs to read". Don't collect my info. Don't make me your recurrent revenue. I just want to pay for the thing that is in front of me. I don't care about your other stuff.

Quick tip, you can add /feed to subscribe to a substack via RSS and avoid needing an account to give your email. Can also use an RSS bridge to follow that RSS via Nostr.
It's time for #Nostrack

I have no idea what the fuck makes you think any writer who would seriously paywall their writing in the 21st century can write anything worth trading your time to read, much less your money.
I've been wanting something like this for a while. Maybe a #Nostr version of Substack will come along and enable this. Substack is popular, but it's also ruggable, and they do demonetize people.

Imagine if there was a paywall for music 😀 writing and music are different mediums and it's interesting to me people are ok with a paywall in the middle of an article, but imagine if that happened in the middle of a song.
They need to paywall harder. I want to hear "insert more sats to continue" with a timer in the middle of my audiobooks, especially while driving.
Most paywalls want you to subscribe for some amount of time, though, right? While what Vitor describes is a paywall, isn't it better that it is like a pay-per-view, rather than having to also pay for a bunch of content that you don't want? #asknostr
