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.

No more subscriptions pls
i thought you cared about ALL of me
Nail on the head 🙂↔️
but real business is selling the other stuffs, everyone is able to sell what you have just decided to pay for.
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.
Sorry @Milosz Matuschek for just tagging rudely, but I just wanted to highlight take on data collection on substack.
That said, I love Milosz content and would highly recommend reading. It helped me a lot during tough times, plus he writes on surfing 🏄

Make substack great again.
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.

You are describing a paywall. Paywalls are not the way.
Also why limit yourself to 1000 sats for a substack article when you could give it away for free and let people determine what it’s worth to them?
👍💯
True, but I think each user should make that decision themselves. And I am fine paying the paywall meanwhile. :)
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.
Truefans is working an a model where if your not streaming sats you can listen to the audiobook.
This was first setup to be play to pay and not pay to play 😔
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.
Paywall on it's own is not enough. We need to build an incentive system that encourages reposting of good content.
So far, V4V is proving that the tip jar is not a viable model.
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
