I am a strong opponent of certain things ---- but I do not mind something like: "First off, all of our stuff will be free to read forever. " I have recently formulated my idea of my own future, assuming that I get up to, say 500 subscribers with 100 are willing to pay me. Here's my deal: I would take $100 per week. Once I got to that level I would freeze it there and find other ways to earn. Not writing Substacks. So, in that case my Substack would ONLY deliver $100 per week. I think that way I would get a few bucks, which is fine, but I would not do anything I am against. As with "The Partisan, this would not include restricting anything, period. I cannot see any excuse for "social" posts that are paid subscriber only. So, Phisto Sobanii can know that I, Jacob, of jacob's Newsletter, am fine with payment to writers, under those guidelines, for certain uses including news, views about our society, etc. Cooking or entertainment or business --- that is different; you do as you please. Substack has to make money somehow. Those lighter, more culturally fickle Substacks about cooking or water sports can run things however they like. That is a good source of money for them and Substack. They can do whatever they like, BUT --- if you are going to discuss society or politics or something that makes a difference to me or that could possibly warn me of something dangerous, well... Look: I am living the society too and as a member of society, I get to read anything about "my" society. Because the society is for all of us. Not just rich persons. So this restriction of news or important social information should be open. Everything on those Substacks should be open. You do NOT get to have your own club when talking about government oppressions or world political news. And I get to be part of the discussion, so if I have something to contribute after reading your ideas, I should be able to, and you must allow it. Sometimes, I do encounter people who suddenly restrict "Comments" after I read it. And that strikes me as strange and I question those people's integrity and I wonder what's up (I wonder if they just never thought it through and I hope it was just an accident). Restricting the after-reading discussion tells me something about you.
Personally, I fear that if I took more than $100 per week it would throw my judgement off. There should be plenty of other creative ways to make money.
Have you ever seen season 20 of South Park? If not then you need to watch all 10 episodes. When you shit post I imagine you as the shit poster SkankHunt 😂😂😂
Dear Phisto, I wish you success with this endeavor. A partisan is an essential element in the matrix of actors required to achieve the return of the Republic. An essay on how the effective positioning of a partisan within the body politic might be accomplished in this age of total digital transparency would be enlightening. And remember, one is never betrayed by one's enemies.
I have been missing the discord and notes antics, I was getting distracted and all that good stuff so I deleted the app and discord for a bit. Like the Terminator I'll be back. Lol.
