Gregory's Server@tomw My understanding was that you can set up a totally free site, and you don't have to monetize if you don't want to.
In that respect, it doesn't seem all too different from Blogspot. But maybe things have changed recently.

 @tomw I think I created an account but haven't used it yet for anything, so I can't say how hard they push on upselling the paid model. Obviously they want as many users as possible to monetize because that's how they turn a profit (and subsidize the free accounts). But the paywall is still up to the discretion of the account holder, isn't it? With the steep decline in journalism as a viable profession, I can't fault a writer for wanting to make a living. |
@analogfusion They push people to add a paywall, and whenever you click a link to Substack, it might be paywalled (there's no way to know before clicking).
