I also think it would be nice to have a "pay per post" option. That would allow writers using paywalls to make money without asking readers to commit longterm. Wondering if Substack's UX team foresees any negative side-effects to offering this kind of thing…
Apparently substack is working on the tagging system which beehiiv already has. Anything like a pay per post system just doesn't really enable writers to monetize properly and would dilute the business model. It's hard enough to scale paid subscriptions without flat face sponsored ads complementing monetization.
